Toyota Motor Corp will suspend another three assembly lines in Japan for several days in August due to coronavirus-triggered supply chain disruptions in Vietnam that would affect the production of around 5,000 vehicles.
The latest suspensions bring the total number of affected vehicles to about 8,000 following an earlier announcement that a line would be suspended due to the infections in Vietnam.
The Tahara plant in Aichi Prefecture will suspend a line for four days from Aug. 3 and a Yoshiwara plant of an affiliate Toyota Auto Body Co will suspend two lines for two days from Aug 5.
The factories produce Lexus brand cars and Land Cruiser SUVs.
A production line at Toyota Auto Body's Fujimatsu plant is suspended for five days from July 29 due to the same parts shortage.
