Lear Corp., the world's second-largest auto-seat maker, is preparing to file for bankruptcy as soon as next week, said people familiar with the matter.
Lear would become the eighth major car-parts supplier to file for Chapter 11 protection since 2005 as the car industry has struggled. Since one parts maker often supplies a variety of car companies, any trouble in shipping parts can lead to disruptions, including the shutdown of auto plants.
