From Leah Almeling – Toyota Motor North America, Corporate Communications –

Toyota is extending the length of its production suspension at all of its automobile and components plants in North America, including Canada, Mexico and the U.S. The manufacturing facilities will be closed from March 23 through April 3, resuming production on April 6, 2020. Our service parts depots and vehicle logistics centers will continue to operate.

Team members and variable workforce will be paid during this shutdown.

This action is being taken to protect the health and safety of our employees, key stakeholders and communities, as well as a result of the significant market decline due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We will continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate action in a timely manner.

NOTE: Toyota originally announced it would close Monday and Tuesday, March 23 and 24.
