Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), the Tata Motors-owned luxury automaker, has temporarily halted production on select vehicle lines at its Solihull manufacturing facility in the UK. The suspension stems from a parts supply challenge involving one of its suppliers. JLR confirmed the pause affects certain lines, including those producing the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models.
The brand is reportedly working closely with the vendor to resolve the matter swiftly. This step aims to minimise disruptions to customers and ongoing operations. The halt is expected to last less than two weeks, incorporating a pre-scheduled Easter holiday shutdown that runs through approximately April 8, 2026.

"Due to a part supply challenge with a supplier, we are temporarily pausing production on certain vehicle lines at our Solihull manufacturing facility. We are working closely with that supplier to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and minimise any impact on our clients or our operations," a JLR spokesperson told BBC.

This incident adds pressure to JLR's supply chain, which underpins around 200,000 jobs across the UK. It follows a major cyberattack last year that forced a month-long closure of all UK plants, including Solihull, resulting in losses from foregone sales and extra costs. JLR has assured stakeholders that the current issue will not extend beyond the planned holiday period.
