Toyota said it made the decision with its Chinese suppliers due to "the impact of the earthquake on supplies of spare parts."
The March 11 quake and tsunami killed some 25,000 people and caused worldwide disruptions in supplies of components needed by makers of autos and electronics. Toyota said it also will move up the summer break at its China factories to April or May.
