Honda halts output at China plant on parts supply

TOKYO, June 23 (Reuters) - Honda Motor Co (7267.T) said production has been halted at a car-making factory in China on Wednesday due to a disruption in the supply of parts.

A Honda spokeswoman said it had halted operations at one of two plants at Guangqi Honda, one of the company's joint ventures in China. The halted plant has an annual production capacity of 240,000 units, and makes the Accord and Fit, among other models.

Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) said earlier that production at a key Chinese auto assembly plant would remain halted for at least the day shift on Wednesday due to a strike at a supplier owned by Japan's Denso Corp (6902.T). [ID:nTOE65M00J]
