Automotive giant General Motors is preparing for layoffs at its assembly plant in Wentzville, Missouri.

Although the layoffs will be temporary, the majority of the workers at the plant will be affected, according to a letter sent to employees by the plant’s executive director and the local UAW representative.

GM’s Wentzville plant builds the company’s Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon mid-size trucks, as well as the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans. The latter two are some of GM’s longest-running offerings and were rumored to be due for a complete EV revamp by 2026, but GM walked back on those plans, according to GMAuthority .

The reason for the temporary layoff—expected to last between September 29 and October 19—is a parts shortage.
