According to Bild, the letter stated that current production had not yet been impacted by chip shortages but cautioned that disruptions could occur given the evolving situation.

The company said on Tuesday it was preparing to pause production of two key models but denied any connection with a stand-off over chipmaker Nexperia putting pressure on supply chains.
