The theft of tools from a supplier in Mexico caused a delay in the launch of a new generation of the Nissan Kicks crossover in the US market, informs SPEEDME.RU. Production of the subcompact car in Aguascalientes, Mexico won't start until next June, with US deliveries following shortly after, according to one source.
This is the second delay in production of the facelifted Kicks, which was originally scheduled for December. However, reportedly, due to the vehicle's failure to pass safety crash tests, the schedule was revised and delayed by a month and a half.
The latest delay, this time to last about five months, is due to tool theft at a supplier's plant in Mexico. Although it may be a minor detail, such a loss can temporarily stop production. Nissan confirmed a launch delay this week, but did not elaborate.
