DETROIT, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Ford Motor ( F ) stood by

its annual EBIT guidance of $6 billion to $6.5 billion for this

year following another fire this week at aluminum supplier

Novelis' New York plant, reaffirming the outlook it revised

because of production disruptions from a devastating blaze at

the supplier's plant in September.

The carmaker in October cut its profit forecast, citing a

gross hit of up to $2 billion from the incident. Ford expects to

offset about $1 billion of that next year by increasing

production at certain truck plants, it said in October.
