Honda Will Return Production on Dec 1st & 2nd In The US & Canada
Honda Motor Co. said Tuesday it will normalize automobile production at six factories in Canada and the United States on Dec. 1 and 2 after curbing their operations since early November due to parts supply chain disruptions induced by the flood in Thailand.
This may mean that bright spots begin to appear in the North American operations of Japanese automakers, as Toyota Motor Corp. ended a Thai flood-induced output adjustment in North America from this week, industry observers said.
Honda said in a statement it will decide what to do regarding the North American operations from Dec. 3 "after examining" developments relating to its Thai suppliers' situation.
The automaker still faces the possibility that supply disruptions will force it to curb North American operations for a long period after the provisional resumption in early December, observers say.
Honda began halving automobile output at its six North American plants in early November due to disruptions to supply of key electronics components.
Production at the plants has since remained disrupted, although the automaker later hiked output at some plants somewhat.
Meanwhile, Honda announced it will release a newly restyled CR-V sport utility vehicle on the market in mid-December as originally planned.

Honda Resumes Some Production
Japanese motor giants Honda and Nissan said they had resumed partial production in Thailand on Monday, after work was suspended due to the devastating floods affecting the country.
Honda's Thai subsidiary, Thai Honda Manufacturing, said it had restarted manufacturing "some motorcycle and power products models" at its Ladkrabang factory, on the eastern outskirts of Bangkok.
Disruption to parts supply forced the firm to halt production of power products on Oct. 6 and motorbikes on Oct. 11.
Work at Honda's car plant, in the central city of Ayutthaya, which was halted on Oct. 4, remains suspended.
A Honda spokeswoman said the floodwaters at the Ayutthaya factory were still two metres deep and the company did not know when it would be able to resume production.

Some parts are made in the factories there. Honda has said they're sourcing the parts from other places/countries to get things made. The quicker they get the supply chain working 100%, the quicker you get your car.

Honda announced that its North American plants will be back to normal production by Thursday.
The factories in recent months have been slowed by parts shortages from flooding in Thailand. Some were running at only half their capacity. Honda says it is working with parts suppliers in Thailand and has found new parts sources for North America. Honda Motor Co. Ltd. has six auto assembly plants in the U.S. and Canada.
Spokesman Ed Miller says flooding in Thailand is still slowing Honda’s production in Asia. Honda says 87 percent of the Honda and Acura cars sold in the U.S. last year were made in North America, and most of the parts were made here. But Honda still uses electronic parts from Thailand. Thailand is a large supplier of computer chips that control engines and other functions.

Honda Repairs May Cost 650 Million Dollars In Thailand
Honda Motor Co will completely overhaul its flood-hit factory in Thailand in a project that could cost more than 50 billion yen ($650 million), the Nikkei business daily reported on Sunday.
Thailand's worst floods in half a century late last year hit Honda the hardest among Japanese automakers, with its 240,000-cars-a-year plant in the Ayutthaya Province in central Thailand submerged under water.
