Importance of Microchips
Newer models are built with dozens of microchips, which control everything from infotainment and stability control to fuel management and engine functions. Several vehicle systems and features require microchips to operate.
How This Chip Shortage Impacts Wisconsin Drivers & What They Can Expect
Most microchips are produced outside of the U.S. The pandemic, geopolitical factors, and other mishaps have slowed microchip production. This has resulted in a global shortage, with Ford and other auto manufacturers unable to produce new vehicles at the normal rate to meet the high demand.
While microchip manufacturing is expected to increase, chip shortages will continue throughout the year. Through the year's first quarter, American car manufacturers have reported seeing more consistency in semiconductor chip supply. This has resulted in vehicle production improvement compared to earlier stages.
Car Shopping Tips to Navigate the Chip Shortage
The supply of these semiconductor chips is vital to vehicle production. As the chip shortage continues, Ashland Ford has some tips to combat this supply and demand crisis so you can still land your dream vehicle.
