WASHINGTON, Oct 16 (Reuters) - A group representing

major automakers warned late on Thursday that a chip supply

disruption could quickly disrupt U.S. auto production.

Carmakers and their suppliers received notice from

chipmaker Nexperia last week it could no longer guarantee

delivery of its chips stemming from a dispute between China and

the Dutch government.

The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents

General Motors ( GM ), Toyota ( TM ), Volkswagen,

Hyundai, and nearly all other major automakers,

urged a quick resolution.

"If the shipment of automotive chips doesn't resume -

quickly - it's going to disrupt auto production in the U.S. and

many other countries and have a spillover effect in other

industries," said the group's CEO John Bozzella.
