Honda Motor Co. says facilities in the U.S. and Canada will begin today to adjust output because of parts shortages caused by the lingering labor dispute at ports on the West Coast.
The company tells Reuters it will cut production by unspecified amounts at factories in Ohio, Indiana and Ontario between Feb. 16 and Feb. 23. A spokesman says shortages caused by the shipping slowdown range from electronics to transmissions.
Stalled labor talks between ship operators and dockworkers at 29 West Coast ports have resulted in huge backups of ships unable to unload their cargos. The ports normally handle about 70% of goods from Asia.
