(AP) -- Delphi says it plans to quit making air bags, seat belts and other occupant-safety equipment at the auto supplier's plant in western Ohio. Delphi spokesman Jay Jiang says the company will halt production of safety equipment at the Vandalia plant by the end of the year.

Jiang says it is not immediately clear how the move will impact the roughly 140 workers at the Vandalia plant, which currently makes air bags, seat belts and steering wheels.

Delphi has been operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for more than three years. Vandalia is about 10 miles north of Dayton.
