Premises Description

Chrysler Corporation (founded 1925 by Walter Chrysler in Detroit MI; merged with Daimler-Benz to form DaimlerChrysler 1998; today Stellantis North America) was through the 20th century the third member of the U.S. “Big Three” automobile manufacturers behind Ford and General Motors. Chrysler operated through the asbestos era a network of U.S. assembly plants, foundries, engine plants, and stamping plants including:

  • Jefferson North Assembly (Detroit MI) — Jeep operations
  • Warren Truck Assembly (Warren MI) — Dodge truck plant
  • Sterling Heights Assembly (Sterling Heights MI)
  • Toledo North Assembly (Toledo OH) and Toledo Supplier Park — Jeep plants
  • Belvidere Assembly (Belvidere IL)
  • St. Louis Fenton Assembly (Fenton MO) — closed 2009

  • Trenton Engine Plant (Trenton MI)
  • Kokomo Casting Plant (Kokomo IN)

Chrysler’s Mopar parts division supplied asbestos-containing brake linings and friction products through the asbestos era for use across the Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicle lines.

Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that Chrysler Corporation — as premises owner — exposed its UAW workforce and contractor pipefitters, insulators, boilermakers, and trade workers to extensive asbestos.
