The spokeswoman disclosed that there is no certainty if the production would continue on Friday and that the decisions for this issue is designated to a 'shift to shift basis' of the production employees.

FCA's spokeswoman also added that another production plant that supplies Grand Cherokee models in the Jefferson North Assembly Plan at Detroit was also cut off from production hours last Wednesday. Both shifts of the employees in the plant were halted by some hours. But the stoppage didn't lingered much as they went back to produce Grand Cherokee SUVs by Thursday at a normal rate again.
