Stellantis Canada

In October 2025, Stellantis Canada officially cancelled plans to produce the next-generation Jeep Compass at its Brampton, Ontario facility, shifting production to Belvidere, Illinois. This decision left approximately 3,000 workers in a state of indefinite layoff after the plant had already been idled for retooling since early 2024. By December 2025, the Canadian federal government issued a formal notice of default against the automaker for failing to meet employment regional commitments tied to billions in subsidies. As of early 2026, Stellantis Canada CEO Trevor Longley has expressed intentions to restart the idle facility, though the company continues to navigate significant tariff pressures and economic volatility affecting the national auto sector.
