There are many factors, though I'd say the largest for the auto industry is the JIT bomb (no planning for contingencies cuz lower quarterly bonuses) that's been warned about for at least a decade, combined with the sudden post-covid demand spike which has stressed all aspects of the supply chain (production, shipping, ports, distribution, etc).
Supply chain experts have been literally forecasting this problem for
YEARS.
