Toyota will suspend output at its Kentucky plant producing Camry and Avalon sedans for four days, the Tokyo Shimbun reported, citing unnamed sources. It will also suspend production of Tundra pickup trucks at its Texas plant for a total of 10 days in March and April, the newspaper said. The decision is part of Toyota's effort to cut stockpiles of its vehicles after a drop in its US sales owing to high-profile problems linked to accelerator and brake systems that have tarnished the company's reputation. Immediate confirmation of the report was not available. |
