So far Ford has been hit hardest by parts shortages. Meridian has other buildings in Eaton Rapids and another magnesium plant in Ontario, but it's unclear how much volume they can pick up, she said. Instead, they'll make more of an older minivan as the company works with Meridian to get more Pacifica parts. BMW said it's working to find other sources for magnesium parts but until supplies stabilize, it won't build as many X5 and X6 SUVs. The cause of the fire at the Meridian plant isn't known.
