In December 2016, GM announced the elimination of the second shift and 1,300 jobs at the plant in March 2017; less than twelve months after the second shift was added. In October 2017, GM announced to scale back production at the plant as falling sales and excess inventory of sedans made there, resulting in about 200 job lost. On November 26, 2018, GM announced that the plant would be "unallocated" in 2019. The plant has an annual production capacity of 230,000 unit. Utilization rate in 2018 was 28 percent. In February, 2019, General Motors (GM) announced that production of the Chevrolet Impala and Cadillac CT6 would continue at Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly until early 2020. With the discontinuation of the CT6 and Impala, the factory is currently in the process of retooling to build electric vehicles, starting with the GMC Hummer EV.
