DETROIT – The FBI on Monday raided a Michigan company that manufactures aluminum alloy wheels for automotive giants Ford, General Motors, Stellantis, Honda, Toyota and Nissan.

The FBI executed a search warrant at Dicastal North America in Greenville, Michigan, on Monday morning, FBI spokesperson Mara Schneider said. The small city of Greenville is just over 30 miles northeast of Grand Rapids in western Michigan.

Schneider provided no other details beyond saying the investigation is ongoing.

As of Monday afternoon, no one was available for comment at Dicastal.

News of the FBI raid caught some automakers by surprise.

General Motors spokesman David Barnas said, “We are monitoring the situation, but expect no impact to GM vehicle production.”

According to its website, Dicastal North America has been making aluminum alloy wheels for the auto industry since 2014. It is a subsidiary of China-based CITIC Dicastal Co., which calls itself the "world's largest supplier of aluminum alloy wheels" and provides products to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) worldwide.
