Honda Spokesman: Honda is suspending or trimming output at some North American plants, but won't specify which plants are most impacted. Production cuts due to the chip shortage.

The same issue w/ VW last week

  • The Manufacturer: The key supplier is Nexperia, which produces high volumes of relatively basic semiconductors (chips) that are essential for numerous non-advanced electronic control units (ECUs) in vehicles. These chips manage systems like:

    • Locks

    • Climate control/Air conditioning

    • Speedometers and other dashboard displays

    • Switches and power windows

  • The Cause: The disruption stems from geopolitical tensions and regulatory action:

    • The Dutch government took control of Nexperia, citing corporate governance issues and concerns over technology transfer.

    • In response, China blocked the export of Nexperia's finished products from its facilities in China, where a large portion of the chips are packaged and prepared for distribution.
