TOKYO (AP) – Toyota Motor Corp. says it will suspend vehicle production in Japan for six days this month due to a shortage of parts.

The automaker says the shortage stems from a Jan. 8 explosion at an Aichi Steel Corp. manufacturing plant.

Vehicle production in Japan will be suspended from Feb. 8 to Feb. 13.

Overseas production lines aren’t affected.

Toyota is the world’s top-selling automaker. It sold 10.15 million vehicles worldwide last year.
