Subaru’s North American assembly plant in Lafayette, Indiana, will be closed for three additional days over the next couple of weeks as the automaker tries to scale back production in order to cope with a limited supply of some Japan-sourced parts.
The automaker says that the plant will be idled on April 15, 18 and 25. Two weeks ago, Subaru began idling the plant in order to prevent a drought of certain parts for its vehicles. Subaru builds the Legacy and Outback for North America in Indiana.
The closures will not affect production of the Toyota Camry, which is also built at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive plant.
Subaru says that workers will be able to work their full eight hour shifts with either training or maintenance duties unrelated to vehicle assembly, a move that means the automaker won’t have to cut workers’ pay.
