May 2009 Report: US Car Companies Contribute to April Default Volume
The month of April demonstrated the tough financial state of the auto industry: Ford Motor Co. effectively defaulted as a result of a distressed debt exchange, Chrysler LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and General Motors Corp. remains very close to bankruptcy as it faces a June 1 deadline to devise a restructuring plan that satisfies its principal banker–the federal government.

The $71 billion in Ford defaults, along with Chrysler’s $22.5 billion in bad loans, helped push defaults in April to a total of $172.8 billion. That figure is the largest monthly total of 2009, and just shy of the September 2008 total, when Lehman Brothers and its affiliates went insolvent, contributing to $176 billion in defaults.
