IT’S A CRISIS: Car Manufacturers Around the World Are Halting Production Due to a Lack of Computer Chips – Repair Shops Also Affected
Toyota, the largest carmaker in Japan, is forced to slow down production due to a lack of computer chips. Nissan in the US is in the same boat. The parts crisis is killing auto manufacturers and repair shops around the globe.
Yahoo News reported:
The shortage of parts caused by the coronavirus pandemic is further denting production at Toyota, Japan’s top automaker.
Production at 11 plants in Japan will be halted Friday, Saturday and next Monday, Toyota Motor Corp. said.
That comes on top of reductions planned for February that were announced earlier. Those reduction will be on various days at eight of its 14 plants in Japan, including assembly lines making the Prius hybrid and Lexus luxury models.
