First impact
Vehicles and light trucks →DelaysTrim and chassis assembly
If the model is not being produced, trim and chassis assembly on that line is idled or delayed, directly reducing throughput.
70% confidenceVehicles and light trucks →Prices easeThe same production stop reduces orders for wiring harnesses feeding that model, creating mild downward pressure on demand and pricing.
58% confidenceVehicles and light trucks →Prices easeAutomotive-grade semiconductors (MCUs, SoCs, power devices)
A halted vehicle model cuts build demand for automotive semiconductors used in that line, which can pressure component prices lower.
Hop 2
Vehicle wiring harnesses →Prices easeSumitomo Electric Industries / Sumitomo Wiring Systems
A Mercedes model production stop lowers vehicle assembly volume, reducing demand for wiring harnesses and creating pricing pressure on a major harness supplier with 15% share.

Renesas Electronics →Prices easeAutomotive-grade semiconductors (MCUs, SoCs, power devices)
Mercedes's production halt lowers near-term demand for the automotive-grade semiconductors Renesas supplies, putting slight downward pressure on that market; Renesas's ~30% share makes the link meaningful, but the stoppage is only one model line.
