TOKYO -- Honda Motor will temporarily cut back production at home due to difficulty sourcing parts from China amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The Japanese automaker will reduce output by a few hundred vehicles at two plants in Saitama Prefecture. The cutbacks will last for a few days beginning early this month.
