DETROIT -- Disruptions to parts production caused by the virus outbreak in China could threaten production at one of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's European plants within two to four weeks, CEO Mike Manley said.
FCA so far has not reported production shutdowns at plants outside China related to the virus outbreak.
Chinese auto parts and assembly plants have extended previously planned New Year's shutdowns through Feb. 9, and some have pushed the shutdowns out further.
If the disruptions to production and shipment of parts get worse, Manley said FCA could potentially see a risk to production at a European plant by the end of February or early March.
FCA did not identify which plant could be affected.
