TOKYO (AP) - Honda Motor Co. will cut output at two North
American factories from Feb. 24 through March 2, cutting production by 5,000
cars due to a disruption in parts shipments caused by a protracted labor
dispute at West Coast ports.
Two Ohio plants and one plant in Canada returned to
normal production as the auto parts came in by air, but an Indiana plant and
another in Canada still have to trim output, company spokeswoman Misato
Fukushima said Friday in Tokyo headquarters.
Production from Feb. 16 to Feb. 23 was already cut by
20,000 cars because all five plants were affected. The disruptions have mainly
affected the company's popular Civic model, Fukushima said.
Talks over a new contract have been delayed for
dockworkers at West Coast ports, stranding billions of dollars of cargo on
ships.
