Chrysler Group LLC announced today that it halted production at the Toledo, Ohio, plants that builds the Jeep Wrangler. The production cancellation is due to a parts shortage caused by storms which struck Mexico shipments, a spokeswoman said.

"We have an ample supply of Wranglers," said Shawn Morgan, a Chrysler spokeswoman. She also said that Chrysler is weighing different options and has not yet decided whether production at the plant can be resumed on Friday. Ms. Morgan declined to disclose what parts shipments were affected.

Chrysler had built a large stock of Wranglers. The American company carried a U.S. inventory of 21,400 Wranglers on July 1, which should be enough for 2 months, so the problem should not affect the SUV's sales. This will allow it to keep sending vehicles to dealers so that the customers are not affected by the issue.

"We have an ample supply of Wranglers," said Shawn Morgan.

The spokeswoman also said that other Chrysler plants are closed for a regularly scheduled maintenance and were not affected by the parts shortage. The regularly scheduled maintenance is a summer shutdown that lasts two weeks.
