The latest numbers on the microchip shortage: N.A. vehicle output cut by 100,000

More than 100,000 vehicles were cut from North American production schedules because of the global microchip shortage last week, as output resumed after the annual summer holiday break at plants in the U.S. and Canada, according to estimates from AutoForecast Solutions.
