During 11 March’s earthquake, many electronic companies plant suffered badly in this disaster. It is said a small electronic component that measures airflow to car engines is becoming a big worry for the auto industry in the wake of Japan's earthquake and tsunami.
One component coming under increased scrutiny goes into mass airflow sensors. Made by Hitachi Automotive Systems, a unit of Hitachi Ltd., at a plant north of Tokyo that was damaged by the quake and remains shut down, the electronic part is used by about a dozen auto makers.
The disaster has forced auto and parts plants throughout Japan to shut down. General Motors Co., Toyota Motor Corp. and PSA Peugeot-Citroën have cut or are making plans to curb output of thousands of vehicles in the U.S. and Europe due to concerns about a shortage of critical parts made in Japan.
News from USA and Canada said, this earthquake really stirred a huge fear in Auto industry. On Wednesday, Toyota warned employees it expects to halt some production in the U.S. and Canada as a result of shortages of parts from Japanese suppliers. 'It is clear we will incur some non-production time,' the company said in a memo. 'The amount of non-production is still uncertain.'
