Ford's F-150 plant in Dearborn, Michigan will continue to
function, the automaker said.
F-150 is Ford's top selling vehicle and, along with other large
utility vehicles and vans, generates the bulk of the company's
global profit.
Earlier this month, Ford said it would continue to idle some of
its assembly plants in the week of Feb. 14 due to semiconductor
bottlenecks.
A shortage of semiconductors that are used for everything from
computer management of engines to driver-assistance features has
hit several automakers across the globe forcing some to produce
vehicles without certain features.
Shares in Ford, which more than doubled in market value last
year, closed 4% higher on Friday, with the market rebounding for
a second day from the sharp selloff leading up to Russia's
invasion of Ukraine.
