The chips will be installed on thousands of Ford F-series trucks that had been built and parked, waiting for the parts, in lots across several states.
What company makes the chips for Ford?
There is some hope on the horizon for those anxious to get a Mach-E or on a waiting list for a Bronco (which has been delayed). The global shortage was exacerbated by a fire in March at Renesas Electronics, a supplier in Japan, which makes two-thirds of the chips that go into Ford vehicles via about nine key suppliers.
