Check the morale for these factories. If morale is below 70, the AP system will not use those factories. If you recently had strikes, that can also cause an issue.

There is also an outstanding bug from purchasing AI companies. If they had strikes recently, their internal factory morale numbers are not reset, and so the AP system will not use those factories. The internal morale numbers will improve over time, but it could take several years.

You're more than welcome to email the save game if you want me to find out why it's not working for you, and to repair the issue for that save file if it is the above bug.

It's definitely not that, those factories are producing other models, it's just 3 specific ones that it won't build.

I probably will email in the save but is there any chance that if i contracted a component that may be doing it? i think i may have used a subsidiary's gearbox so would they have possibly discontinued it and broke AP?

Yes, if those models require outsourced components that have no inventory, or if you discontinued the models, AP will not build them.

I'm pretty sure i found the issue, all 3 models used a contracted gearbox from a bankrupted company so nobody was producing said gearbox anymore. I must've missed a notification somewhere
