Ford faces halt to F-150 production after fire, could idle 7,600 workers
[Detroit Free Press] Ford Motor is facing a complete production shutdown of its profit-driving F-150 pickups for an unknown period of time.

"It is a very fluid situation," company spokeswoman Kelli Felker said Tuesday.

A major fire at Meridian Magnesium Products in Eaton Rapids, Mich., on May 2 created an unavoidable disruption. Ford has been working with the die-cast parts manufacturer since the incident.
