A weakening economy is to blame for a planned 3-month production stoppage at Honda's Timmonsville, SC plant.
The AP reports Honda will close production for three months in its Timmonsville, SC, plant. The facility, which produces ATV and Personal Watercraft, will stop production March thru May.
A weakened economy is to blame for the production slow down.
The news comes after a 2008 announcement that the Japanese firm ceased US motorcycle production, shutting down its plant in Marysville, Ohio. The move came after Honda consolidated its two-wheeled production into a new plant located in Kumamoto, Japan.
