Jeep Liberty Plant Shutdown and Successor
Chrysler Group LLC announced in June, 2012 that the Toledo North Assembly Plant in Toledo, Ohio, where the Liberty is manufactured, will shut down on August 21, 2012 temporarily in order to prepare for the launch of a replacement or redesigned Jeep vehicle, most likely being called the Jeep Liberty or the Jeep Cherokee. Production will start in late 2013, following a possible introduction of the new Liberty replacement at the 2013 North American International Auto Show on Detroit, Michigan in January 2013. The final 2012 Liberties were produced on August 16, 2012 as 2012 models in the U.S. and as 2013 models in Mexico. The Liberty replacement will most likely be based on the platform of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and the Dodge Dart, both of which were introduced in recent years.
