Updated Statement Regarding Suspension of Production at Plants in Japan

Toyota City, Japan, February 3, 2016―In a statement issued on February 1, Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announced that, due to parts shortages resulting from an explosion that occurred on January 8 at an Aichi Steel Corporation (Aichi Steel) manufacturing facility, all production is expected to be suspended on its vehicle assembly lines within Japan from February 8 through 13, with operations scheduled to recommence on February 15.

In addition to the above, production at all of TMC's directly owned and operated plants within Japan, including those producing components and parts, will also be suspended for the duration of February 8, which will be counted as a holiday.

Toyota will continue to take any measures necessary to minimize the impact of this incident on vehicle production. Such measures may include production on alternate lines operated by Aichi Steel and procurement from other steelmakers.
