Nissan will idle its factory in Kyushu,
southern Japan, for three days on June 24, 25 and 28, while making production
adjustments during the month at its Tochigi and Oppama plants in Japan, three
sources said.
Nissan will also temporarily halt
production of some of its models at its Mexico plant, they said, declining to
be identified because the plan is not public.
"A global shortage of semiconductors
has affected parts procurement in the auto sector. Due to the shortage, Nissan
is adjusting production and taking necessary actions to ensure recovery,"
a Nissan spokeswoman said.
Suzuki will idle its three plants in
Shizuoka prefecture from three to nine days, two sources said, also declining
to be identified because the plan is not public.
The plan "has not been
confirmed," a Suzuki spokesman said, explaining that while the carmaker
gave its provisional production plan to auto part makers, it is still making
adjustments to minimize the impact of the chip shortage.
Elsewhere, Mitsubishi will reduce production
by 30,000 vehicles in total in June at five plants in Japan, Thailand and
Indonesia, a spokeswoman said, adding that the impact has already been factored
into its earnings outlook for the current fiscal year.
