NAGOYA, Japan -- Toyota Motor will partially suspend operations at four plants in Japan due to delays in procuring parts from Southeast Asia.

The affected plants include the Tahara plant in Aichi Prefecture and the Miyata plant in Fukuoka Prefecture; production of a total of 5,500 units will be affected. Toyota says it will maintain its planned global production volume of 9 million units for the fiscal year ending next March.
