Honda Motor Co. said it will begin gradually restoring normal operations at its vehicle assembly plants in North America starting Monday, signaling an improvement in the chip shortage that recently disrupted production. The automaker had halted output at its Mexico plant on October 28 and adjusted manufacturing activities in the United States and Canada from October 27 due to a supply crunch linked to components from Nexperia.
A Honda spokesperson confirmed that the company has secured a certain level of semiconductor supply, including through alternative component sourcing, enabling the planned ramp-up. The spokesperson declined to comment on whether Nexperia had resumed shipments, directing those inquiries to the chipmaker.
Despite the progress, Honda warned that next week’s planned return to regular operations could still shift, as the supply chain situation remains fluid. The temporary disruptions highlight the continuing vulnerability of global auto production to component shortages, even as manufacturers work to diversify and stabilize their supply networks.
