Production of the Chevy Camaro and Cadillac Blackwing sedans (Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing) at the GM Lansing Grand River facility in Michigan will be down for two weeks in September. The downtime is a result of the ongoing global microchip shortage.
The production stoppages for the Chevy Camaro and Cadillac Blackwing sedans will take place the weeks of September 13th and September 20th.
The GM Lansing Grand River facility is also responsible for production of the “standard” (i.e. non-Blackwing) Cadillac CT4 and Cadillac CT5, both of which were originally scheduled to resume production the week of September 20th. Now, however, this latest stoppage will extend production downtime for the standard Cadillac CT4 and Cadillac CT5 as well, set to resume October 4th alongside the Chevy Camaro and Cadillac Blackwing sedans.
Production stoppages are in place at several other GM facilities due to the global microchip shortage. The GM Wentzville facility in Missouri is also idle, and not expected to resume production until September 27th. The Wentzville facility produces the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks, as well as the Chevy Express and GMC Savana vans.
Meanwhile, GM’s Spring Hill facility in Tennessee will be idled until September 20th, affecting production of the Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6 crossovers, and the GMC Acadia crossover.
Production stoppages are also in place at the GM Orion Township facility in Michigan (Chevy Bolt EV, Chevy Bolt EUV), GM Ramos Arizpe in Mexico (Chevy Blazer, Chevy Equinox), and GM San Luis Potosi in Mexico (Chevy Equinox, Chevy Onix, GMC Terrain).
The global microchip shortage has affected General Motors’ production capabilities throughout the 2021 calendar year. In response, General Motors has prioritized its most popular and profitable models, namely its full-size SUVs and pickup trucks. General Motors has also opted to delete certain features, such as DFM and AFM, while also building models in an incomplete state, only to finish those models once new microchips are secured.

So what plants are still open making vehicles?
Flint, Arlington, Bowling Green this week,
Ordered my CT5 in April. Mary Barra should be fired!
How is this in Mary’s control? You realize every auto manufacturer is having the same issues? You dunce.
Ordered my CT4 in Mid Feb. for a 1st quarter delivery. Yawn. Capitalism at its best, they don’t care. Shoulda got a Tesla last spring and been self driving all summer, meanwhile I am deep in the sunken cost fallacy waiting for Supercruise. Not even a drib and drab production, just a few more weeks they string along customers with their production decisions/choices/promises and lies. They have known since last spring that this would be the plan, anyone who has been in heavy production planning knows this too. Just set a date and keep and let chips fall where thy may. At this point all joy from moving Audi to Cadillac is dead. We will see if the hype of non delivery can fix my impending buyers remorse for my invisible car.
Mary doesn’t seem to care about the XT4–CT4 and CT5 or the assembly line workers building them.
Sick and damn tired of the Camaro being so undersold. There are none to be found, anywhere, except used Camaros! The reason Camaro is not selling well is not because nobody wants them, but because they’re not being made, along with a lack of marketing! Shame, it’s a gorgeous car with much more to offer that its competitors! I’m really hating how it’s being let go to die so miserably!!!
Camaro production needs to be halted permanently. Why waste the money the claustrophobic 2016 went the wrong way
Ordered a ct5v in February my Dealer has called me 8 times with different build dates. Not his fault. I’m sure GM will give us a past model discount when the 2021 arrives 2 weeks before they start building 2022’s. LOL
I waited 72 years to order my first build. Looks like I am going to wait some more.
“22 Black, 2SS loaded convertible. So far twelve weeks and waiting. GM accepted order and that’s as
far it has gone.
I’ve actually seen different, they’re still making camaro’s and corvettes. Just certain camaros are gonna be delayed. Like a lt1 without npp exhaust, rapid blue and shock and steel packages.
I dont know what to believe, my dealer contacted me to say that my 2022 2ss is being built this thursday the 16th of September. I guess its a waiting game.
The funny thing 2weeks ago I told this forum that my dealer told me and all the haters told me my dealer lies.. Egg on faces to all.. LOL I’ve been dealing with him for 25Yrs. why wood he lie to a good costumer. But like the rest as the kids take over the farm. I’ll wait for my new 22 rapid blue convertible to get my build code.
I just want my Camaro SS….
