If true and it does affect production, then the M2 could become harder to get hold of than people are experiencing at the moment.This obviously doesn't bode well if they can't get it sorted.

AFAIK Bild is not the most seriously engaged newssite.
All for the headlines?
And having read it, much ado about 'nothing'.
