Toyota is suspending production at all 28 lines of its 14 plants in Japan starting on Tuesday, because of a “system malfunction” at a domestic supplier, the carmaker said.
Public broadcaster NHK TV and other Japanese media said a major Toyota supplier had been hit by a suspected cyberattack.
No details were given.
It was unclear when production would resume.
