I haven't seen that specific verbiage but I imagine it relates to one of those vehicles or vehicle orders that is being &quot;held back&quot; while awaiting material availability or some other issue (ideally before the build is started). In really bad situations the vehicle can actually be removed from the body shop carrier or paint carrier (via fork truck) and placed in the aisle indefintely. Otherwise it is also holding up all of the other bodies behind it in that same row.

We've seen some Pontiacs from the Pontiac Michigan plant (which had an 8 lane body bank at the completion of the Fisher side) which note &quot;body in aisle&quot;.

Once the vehicle drops into trim (or into the PMD side in Pontiac) the build order is locked down, barring any catastrophe.
