The world watched with tears as the earthquake and tsunami ravaged Japan. We are all in fear of a nuclear meltdown and radiation poisoning as a result of damages to nuclear plants and hope that these problems can be resolved quickly and safely.
Amid the destruction of life, homes and infrastructure this natural (and possibly nuclear) disaster, the auto industry has been significantly affected. At the time of print there have been lives lost and serious structural damage at all three of the major Japanese car importers to the US.
According to official statements from the companies, Toyota has halted all production in Japanese facilities until, at the earliest, March 22, several of Nissan’s plants have been affected by serious damages and over 2,000 US bound cars have been damaged by either the earthquake and tsunami and Honda has reported at least 1 employee death and at least 30 employee injuries and several shut down plants.
America On Wheels sends its deepest sympathies to all those who have been affected by the earthquake and tsunami and hope that recovery will occur quickly and safely.
