Kuala Lumpur - Honda's Malaysia subsidiary said Tuesday it would halt production at its plant temporarily due to a shortage of parts caused by flooding in Thailand.
The company said it is studying the feasibility of sourcing parts from other countries until its suppliers' production in Thailand returns to normal.
"We are doing all that we can within our capacity to recover the production here in Malaysia as soon as possible," Honda Malaysia managing director and chief executive Yoichiro Ueno said.
Honda on Tuesday announced the shutdown of its plant that produces motorcycles in Bangkok due to increasing water level in the Thai capital.
Its car assembly plant in Ayutthaya was also hit since early this month and operation is still suspended.//DPA
