Temporary Production Halt at Solihull Plant

March 26 (Reuters) - Jaguar Land Rover has temporarily halted production on some of its car lines at its Solihull plant in Britain, citing a parts issue involving a supplier, the Tata Motors-owned automaker said on Thursday.

Duration and Timing of the Shutdown

The pause will last for less than two weeks, as the period includes a pre-scheduled shutdown for the Easter holidays.

Impacted Models and Schedule

The Financial Times earlier reported that the company told suppliers it would halt production of Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models, until April 8, which includes the scheduled five-day shutdown for the Easter weekend.
