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 in and outside Japan is as follows.
Production in Japan
Production at TMC vehicle production plants, which returned to near-normal levels on November 21, will continue at such levels until December 10.
Production outside Japan
As has been announced, operations at Toyota Motor Thailand Co., Ltd.'s Samrong, Gateway and Ban Pho vehicle-production plants resumed on November 21. Operation levels will be gradually increased as the situation regarding parts-supply, facilities and other factors continues to be assessed.
Vehicle-production plants in Indonesia, Malaysia and South Africa will continue to adjust production levels through December 3 based on an assessment of the parts-supply situation.
Production bases in North America will continue to operate at normal levels, including overtime, for the week beginning December 5.
All production after the above dates will be based on an assessment of the situation in the respective location.
TMC apologizes for any inconvenience the ongoing production adjustments may cause.
