Toyota Reduces Production by 500,000 Vehicles Due to Typhoon and Quality Issues

Toyota Motor Corporation has lowered its production target for this year from an initial 10.3 million vehicles to 9.8 million, a reduction of 500,000 units.

The reduction is mainly due to weak sales in the Chinese market and the halt in production for specific models due to certification issues. Toyota has scaled back production at 16 domestic factories to avoid damage from the powerful Typhoon Shanshan.

The typhoon has also delayed the resumption of production for three models that were previously under a “shipment suspension” due to certification issues.

According to a report by Japan’s NHK, Toyota has postponed the resumption of production for three models due to ongoing quality certification issues, compounded by the recent impact of Typhoon Shanshan.

Toyota had previously halted production of the Corolla Fielder, Corolla Axio, and Yaris Cross after identifying problems with “model certification,” a crucial step required for mass vehicle production. The company has experienced shipment suspensions for these models since June.

Although Toyota lifted the shipment suspension at the end of July after confirming compliance with government safety standards, the company has delayed the planned production restart. NHK attributed this delay to the severe disruptions caused by Typhoon Shanshan.

In addition, Toyota has adjusted its global production target for the year, reducing it to approximately 9.8 million units from an earlier estimate of around 10.3 million. The Nikkei reported that this revision considers not only the certification issues and Typhoon Shanshan’s impact but also sluggish sales in the Chinese market.
