Japanese Automakers Warned Of Chip Shortages Due To Dutch Take Over Of Supplier

Nexperia notified its Japanese automotive customers that it may no longer be able to guarantee supply, triggering renewed concern about upheaval at the Dutch chipmaker snarling global supply chains.

 

The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association said on Thursday that Japanese auto parts makers received the warning about supply from Nexperia, and its members are now working to mitigate any disruption. Still, Nexperia provides a key component and any shortages would have repercussions for Japanese automakers, JAMA said.
