TOKYO -- Mazda Motor Corp. said on Wednesday that it will suspend production at a factory in Japan for a total of ten days in July due to a chip shortage.
The automaker's Hofu Plant No.1 in Yamaguchi prefecture, located in southwest Japan, will halt production between July 5 and 9 as well as July 12 and 16.
Nissan Motor Co. and Subaru Corp. are both planning to idle some Japan production in July as the chip crisis continues to beset the global auto industry.
