Honda extends suspension of U.S. and Canada plants

As the unprecedented economic impact of the fast-changing COVID-19 pandemic worsens, Honda continues to evaluate conditions and make temporary adjustments to its production operations in the U.S.A and Canada.

In addition to the impact of COVID-19 on the marketplace, stay-at-home orders in many cities and states prevent consumers in a number of markets from purchasing new vehicles.

As a result, Honda has decided to extend its production suspension previously announced for all of its automobile, engine and transmission plants in the U.S.A and Canada through 1 May 2020 in order to align product supply with a lack of market demand. Honda began its automobile production suspension on 23 March 2020.
