Ford shutting four plants over next few weeks, including an F-150 plant

Ford Motor Co on Monday said it is suspending F-150 production for a week at its Kansas City assembly plant, along with temporary shutdowns at three other plants over the next several weeks.

Transit van production will not be shut at Kansas City. Ford said each of the plant shutdowns are to align production with demand and to meet year-end inventory targets.
