In addition, work will resume the same day at engine, stamping and transmission plants – including four plants in Kokomo – that supply parts to the seven production facilities. The plants in Kokomo have more than 4,500 workers.

The company confirmed that factories in Sterling Heights and Warren, Mich.; St. Louis; Toledo, Ohio; Brampton and Windsor, Ontario; and Toluca, Mexico, would restart operations. Production at a Detroit factory resumed Monday.
