Toyota Motor’s global output fell for the ninth consecutive month in October, driven down by significant declines in production in the United States and China, though the drop was less severe compared to previous months.

On Thursday, Toyota reported producing 893,164 vehicles globally, a 0.8% decrease, compared to an 8% decline in September. Production in the United States fell by 13%, impacted by a four-month halt in the production of the Grand Highlander and Lexus TX SUVs due to an airbag issue. Production of these models resumed on 21 October, and output at the company’s Indiana plant is expected to return to normal by January.
In China, where competition from local brands remains strong, output dropped by 9%. Toyota also produced 13% fewer vehicles in Thailand due to weak demand. In Japan, which accounts for about a third of Toyota’s global output, production rose by 8%, recovering from weak figures a year ago when an accident at a supplier’s facility caused partial production halts at several plants.
In Canada and Mexico, output increased by 2% in both countries.
