From a press release: Navistar International Corp. said Monday it is suspending production of a diesel engine it builds for Ford Motor Co. because Ford has stopped honoring contract terms. Ford uses the engines in its heavy-duty pickup trucks, and Navistar has been an engine supplier to Ford, the No. 2 U.S. automaker, since 1979, Navistar said in a statement.

On a sidenote, Penkse leasing which buys thousands of trucks a year has gotten very gunshy of Navistar due to the financial shape of the company, and quality concerns.
