US EditionJaguar Land Rover production shutdown could last until November
Jaguar Land Rover extends production halt to September 24, 2025, as cybersecurity investigation continues after data breach and major IT disruptions, union leaders report.
- Jaguar Land Rover extended its production pause until Wednesday, September 24, 2025, due to a major cyber attack that forced system shutdowns and halted factory output.
- The attack, detected on August 31 and targeting global systems, led to the extended halt while JLR continues a forensic investigation and plans a controlled restart.
- The stoppage affects factories in Halewood, Solihull, Wolverhampton, and Castle Bromwich, with thousands of workers told to stay home and supply chains facing severe disruption.
- Experts estimate a potential financial impact near £120 million, with warnings that some suppliers could face insolvency due to sudden cash flow collapse, while directly employed JLR workers remain secure.
- Unions are calling on the government to implement a support scheme that protects jobs and skills within the supply chain, highlighting the ongoing disruption that reveals weaknesses in Britain’s automotive sector.
