Stellantis sales were already falling before the tariffs came into force, dropping 12 percent in Q1 to 293,000 units. Dodge was hit particularly hard; its deliveries were down 49 percent to 21,731, partly due to the gap left in the lineup by the demise of the gas-powered Charger and Challenger.

Now that the Trump administration has instituted its 25% tariffs against all imported vehicles, along with myriad other product tariffs, automakers are figuring out their next moves. For Stellantis, its first moves have been to idle plants and temporarily layoff employees all across North America.

Stellantis is temporarily laying off nearly 1,000 workers in the U.S. as it pauses production at some plants in Canada and Mexico in response to the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The layoffs affect workers at five plants in Michigan and Indiana, a company spokesperson said.
