Supply chain issues are affecting production at a majority of Honda’s U.S. and Canadian auto plants, including the one in Lincoln.
Honda last week announced that production would be affected at all U.S. and Canadian plants, due to “the impact from COVID-19, congestion at various ports, the microchip shortage and severe winter weather over the past several weeks.”
Bloomberg reported the production slowdown will impact plants in Marysville, East Liberty in Ohio, Indiana, Alabama, and Ontario. It’s not clear how much production will be affected.
In January, automakers began feeling the impacts of a worldwide microchip shortage. Microchips are an integral part of modern automobiles, with some requiring up to 150 per vehicle. But the COVID-19 pandemic, as with other industries, first interrupted production of semiconductors, then amped up demand for them. Demand for cars, as well as microchips, has only increased in 2021.
