Toyota Vehicle Production Adjustments Due to Floods in Thailand
Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) sends its sincerest condolences to all those affected by the recent catastrophic flooding in Thailand.
As of this time, the effect of the floods in Thailand on Toyota and Lexus production within and outside Japan is as follows.
Production in Japan
As previously announced, TMC has adjusted production hours at its vehicle production plants in Japan for the week October 24 through October 28. This adjustment has now been extended to include October 29.
Further, production from October 31 through November 5 will be adjusted based on an ongoing assessment of the parts supply situation at each individual production line.
Production outside Japan
TMC's sales and production company in Thailand, Toyota Motor Thailand Co., Ltd. (TMT) has extended the production halt at its Samrong, Gateway and Ban Pho plants―in place since October 10―through November 5. The floods still have had no physical impact on the plants.
Vehicle production plants in the United States, Canada, South Africa, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam will adjust production for the week starting October 31.
A decision on production from November 7 onward will be made based on an assessment of the situation as it develops.
TMC apologizes for any inconvenience these production adjustments may cause.
