Supplier Kojima Industries Corporation suspected it had been hit by a cyber-attack, causing a halt in production, according to reports from news site Nikkei. Local factories account for about a third of Toyota's production.
Like other vehicle manufacturers, Toyota's production has been hit by the global semi-conductor shortage. The shutdown included some plants operated by Toyota-affiliated Hino Motors and Daihatsu Motor.
"Due to a system failure at a domestic supplier, we suspended our operations on all 28 lines at 14 domestic plants in Japan Tuesday, March 1. However, we have decided to resume all operations from the first shift tomorrow, Wednesday, March 2," the company said in a statement.
