Floods in Thailand are threatening to affect automotive production for auto makers and suppliers, such as Toyota, Honda, Ford, Mitsubishi, and Michelin. Work in many of Thailand facilities will be halted through to November 5th, affecting production in Japan, the U.S., Canada, South Africa, the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia. It is expected that it will take months before the water recedes and residents can start to rebuild. The disaster comes shortly after Japanese car makers return to full production after the March earthquake and Tsunami shut down factories in Japan.
