Toyota will gradually restart operations at its plants in Japan that had been halted due to an accident at a supplier.
Toyota was forced to reduce output at several domestic factories for about a week after an explosion on Oct. 16 at a plant belonging to Chuo Spring, which makes suspension springs.
The automaker plans to have completely resumed production on Oct. 26 at all plants that have faced disruptions, a company spokesperson said on Monday.
Beginning Tuesday morning, three production lines across two plants will resume operations, followed by four lines across three plants in the evening. The last remaining production line will go back online Thursday morning, Toyota said.
