Honda to stop Suzuka output Friday on supply woes
TOKYO, July 19 (Reuters) - Honda Motor Co. said it
would suspend operations at its Suzuka factory on Friday because
of a production stoppage at earthquake-hit piston ring supplier
Riken Corp. .
The suspension at the plant, which builds the Civic and
several other models, would lead to a loss of 2,000 units, a
spokeswoman said.
Honda will assess whether it can resume production on Monday
at Suzuka and other domestic factories when it has more
information, it said in a statement on Thursday.
