Stellantis reacts to tariffs with 900 temporary layoffs including Kokomo workers

INDIANAPOLIS — Stellantis is citing President Trump’s latest automotive tariffs as the reason behind the automaker’s decision to temporarily lay off roughly 900 U.S. employees.

These temporary layoffs include Stellantis plants in Michigan as well as the Indiana Transmission Plant, Kokomo Transmission Plant and Kokomo Casting Plant.

Stellantis said the latest automotive tariffs have created a “challenging time” for the automotive giant behind brands such as Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler. As the company weighs the medium and long-term effects of the tariffs, the decision was made to pause production at the Windsor, Canada, assembly plant for two weeks (April 7 to 14), along with a one-month pause of the Toluca, Mexico, assembly plant beginning April 7.

As a result of these plants being paused, U.S. employees who work at plants that support these assembly locations (such as the Kokomo Stellantis plant) are being temporarily laid off.

“These are actions that we do not take lightly, but they are necessary given the current market dynamics,” said Antonio Filosa, COO of Stellantis.

A timeframe for the temporary layoffs for U.S. employees was not provided.
