Toyota Motor Company for the first time in its history began to terminate contracts for the sale of cars with buyers. Customers who paid for Toyota Harrier crossovers are being refunded with an offer to return to purchase in September 2022, the Nikkei newspaper reports.
Reason: continued shortage of electronic components. Due to local outbreaks of coronavirus, Toyota counterparties from China continue to disrupt the supply of components to the group's car plants located in Japan.
Consumers have become accustomed to delays in deliveries of paid-for cars in the two years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but before the termination of contracts at the initiative of the automaker, it did not come before.
