No Serious Quake Damage to Auto Operations in Mexico

Most carmakers report minor or no damage to their offices and factories after Tuesday’s magnitude 7.1 earthquake near Mexico City killed at least 225 people.

Several manufacturers suspended production in Mexico for half a day to assess possible damage. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors and Toyota report a return to normal operations today.

Nissan Motor Co. evacuated its regional headquarters in Mexico city and assembly plant 50 miles away in Cuernavaca. The company says it is assessing damage and hasn’t determined when operations will be restored.

Audi reportedly idled its factory in San Jose Chiapa today, but the facility apparently has suffered no injuries or structural damage.
