Jaguar Land Rover has temporarily halted production on key vehicle lines at its Solihull plant after a disruption in the supply of critical components, in the latest setback for the West Midlands-based automotive group.
The pause, which is expected to last around two weeks and coincides with a previously scheduled Easter shutdown, will affect production of high-value models including the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.
The company said the stoppage was caused by a “part supply challenge” involving one of its suppliers, adding that it is working closely with the partner to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
“Due to a part supply challenge with a supplier, we are temporarily pausing production on certain vehicle lines at our Solihull manufacturing facility,” a spokesperson said. “We are working to minimise any impact on our clients or operations.”
The disruption highlights the continued vulnerability of global automotive supply chains, where even a single component shortage can force production lines to stop.
