Honda today announced plans for the accelerated recovery of auto production in North America, following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, which affected the whole supply chain. Plants across the continent will gradually increase capacity until they reach 100 percent in August.

The automaker said that production of Canada's best-selling car will continue at a reduced rate of approximately 50 percent, due to the limited supply of key components. However, this situation continues to be evaluated and full production is expected to resume sometime in the fall.
