Toyota Motor: Reasons behind suspension of production at 14 factories revealed

News on September 6, Toyota Motor Corporation issued a statement today, revealing the root cause of the suspension of production at its 14 factories in Japan. According to the company, the shutdown was mainly due to problems caused by routine system maintenance work, rather than a cyberattack.

According to a company statement, the failure resulted from system maintenance and database consolidation work. During system maintenance on August 27, the system stopped functioning due to insufficient disk space, causing the backup machine to suffer a similar failure. This system manages production and parts orders, among other tasks.

The factory suspended production from the morning of August 29 to the evening of August 30, lasting two days in total, affecting the production of approximately 14,000 vehicles. These include the production lines of Toyota's best-selling models such as Corolla, Camry, and Prius Hybrid.

A Toyota spokesman said that due to a system failure, the factory was unable to continue ordering required auto parts, which affected the normal operation of 28 assembly lines. The company is currently taking steps to increase production on future operating days to compensate for the impact.

According to the editor’s understanding, Toyota Motor Corporation emphasized that they have found the root cause of the system failure and will further review the maintenance work procedures to ensure that similar problems will not occur again. The company apologized to affected partner manufacturers and consumers and said they are making every effort to resume normal production.
