TOKYO -- Toyota Motor Corp. cut its global production plan for June for the second time this week and signaled its full-year output estimate could be lowered, highlighting the pain from the supply-chain crunch and China lockdown.
Global automakers' production has been hit by the microchip shortage and also by China's COVID-19 lockdowns.
The reduction by Toyota -- broadly seen as a bellwether for Japan's auto industry -- comes a day after data showed that passenger car sales in China, Europe and the United States remained weak.
