This is not the first time that the automaker has had to stop production.
The Hyundai Palisade production stopped earlier in the week due to a lack of parts. The Just Auto.com report doesn’t give any details about why production was stopped Monday, June 15. The publication did not specify why production stopped on Monday, June 15. However, it did mention that the Palisade- and GV80 production stops were caused by three assembly lines – one at Hyundai’s Ulsan 2 plants and one at Ulsan 4 – which were shut down due to what is believed to have been the coronavirus.
Since the pandemic, production stoppages have been a problem for the South Korean automaker. In February, production was stopped by a lack of wiring harnesses. The pandemic caused disruptions in China’s supply chain, which made it difficult for them to keep up with demand. The coronavirus continues to spread, even though governments have eased restrictions and workers are returning to work. Two plants were shut down by Kia after two employees contracted the virus from their vicinity.
Genesis’ first SUV, the GV80, is also very popular. The company received almost 10,000 reservations last month before production started. Genesis sold 21,233 cars last year. This is a delicious addition to the Genesis luxury brand. It includes features such as a 3D digital instrument cluster and handwriting recognition.
Automotive industry has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. The production of vehicles has been stopped in various parts of the world and dealerships have had their doors closed to customers. According to Just Auto.com, Hyundai’s global sales dropped 26 percent in the first five months this year. Automakers are now scrambling for parts to satisfy the growing demand for their cars. It will be a difficult return to normalcy.
