The Japanese auto giant said the suspension would affect production at all
12 of its directly operated domestic plants, which include four vehicle
assembly plants and also factories that make transmissions, engines and
other parts. The closings are in addition to a three-day shutdown this month
at these plants that Toyota had already announced.

The company has mostly halted North American production this week as it
tries to avoid an inventory overhang. The last time Toyota suspended
production in all of its Japanese plants was in 1993 and that stoppage only
lasted a day. This time the company will stop output for six days in
February and five days in March.
