Toyota Halts Production at All 14 Assembly Plants in Japan Due to System Malfunction

Toyota Motor Corp has suspended production at all 14 of its assembly plants in Japan due to a system malfunction that is preventing the company from ordering parts. The cause of the glitch is under investigation, but it is believed not to be a cyberattack. This production halt affects a third of Toyota's global output, and it is unclear how much output will be lost. The incident also impacts other Toyota group firms, with partial suspensions of operations at two engine plants.
