The Korean automakers' plants are running full shifts with overtime in North America, a stark contrast to most Japanese and some North American and European brands that are cutting production as a result of parts shortages.
"We've been fortunate," said Robert Burns, a spokesman for the Hyundai plant in Alabama. "Our parts development team is closely monitoring all our suppliers, but at this point there's been no disruption."
That's not to say that the Korean auto industry hasn't been hit by some shortages of parts; the two automakers saw some production slow downs in their home market last month.
