Stellantis warns of possible further disruption at Italian Fiat plants
Stellantis said on 2 November 2026 that a shortage of a component for the N3 GSE engine control unit had slowed production of several Fiat models in October. The group warned that disruption could affect Mirafiori and Pomigliano d’Arco in November and December.
The carmaker said the Pandina, assembled at Pomigliano, had been particularly affected. It says it is working with suppliers to restore component availability progressively, without announcing a date for full production to resume.
In Turin, Fim-Cisl reports another week of temporary lay-offs, from 2 to 6 November, in Mirafiori’s bodywork and components operations; several other units are excluded. The union is calling for a new production assignment and investment. Disruption in subsequent months remains a risk rather than a final shutdown timetable.
