Production at Stellantis’ Windsor Assembly Plant will come to a halt for two weeks, according to Unifor Local 444.

The union announced they received notice from Stellantis on Wednesday evening. The shutdown will start on April 7th, 2025.

“While we had heard rumours of potential downtime, the company said there are multiple factors at play, with the primary driver behind the final decision being this afternoon’s announcement from US President Donald Trump of the U.S. tariffs,” said Unifor 444 president James Stewart in a social media post. “This has and continues to create uncertainty across the entire auto industry.”

In a statement Stellantis statement said they continue to assess the effects of the recently announced U.S. tariffs on imported vehicles and will continue to engage with the U.S. Administration on these policy changes.

“Immediate actions we must take include temporarily pausing production at some of our Canadian and Mexican assembly plants, which will have an impact to several of our U.S. powertrain and stamping facilities that support those operations,” the statement said.

It is expected operations will resume the week of April 21st.
