Honda Motor said Tuesday that supply chain issues will force a halt to production at most of the U.S. and Canadian auto plants for a week.

The Japanese automaker added the issue will lead to production cuts next week 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 during the past several weeks.

“In some way, all of our auto plants in the U.S. and Canada will be impacted,” the automaker said.

Some U.S. and Canadian plants are expected to have smaller production decreases next week, but a spokesman for Honda added that the timing and length of production adjustments could modify.

The automaker has not mentioned the volume of vehicles impacted but said purchasing and production teams are working to limit the effect of this situation.

The company added when production is temporarily stopped, the workers will continue to have the opportunity to work at the affected plants. Honda workers were notified of the production cuts Monday.

The production issues are affecting Honda plants in Ontario, Ohio, Alabama, and Indiana.

Honda said its Mexico operations have made any announcement related to the production cuts.
