Honda’s North American Plants to Resume Normal Production

Acura News

Official release from www.hondanews.com:

11/28/2011

Due to improvement in the overall parts supply situation, all of Honda’s North American plants will resume normal production by December 1, 2011.

While the severe flooding in Thailand continues to have some impact to our parts supply, Honda is working closely with its suppliers to fully reestablish the flow of parts for the products made in North America. Honda will update this information in the event changes are required.

In 2010, 87 percent of the Honda and Acura automobiles sold in the U.S. were produced in North America. While most of the parts and materials used to produce these products are purchased from North American suppliers, a few critical electronic parts are sourced from Thailand and other regions of the world.
