WASHINGTON (February 16, 2010)--Toyota says it plans to idle production at assembly plants in Texas and Kentucky while it grapples with massive recalls in the United States.
Toyota spokesman Mike Goss said the company’s Tundra plant in San Antonio has scheduled production breaks for the weeks of March 15 and April 12.
Goss said a plant in Georgetown, Ky., has scheduled a non-production day on Feb. 26 and may not produce vehicles on three more days in March and April.
He said Toyota is adjusting production so it does not build up too much inventory for dealers.
Toyota has recalled 8.5 million vehicles around the world to address problems with gas pedals, floor mats and brakes.
Toyota says its workers will be retained and will receive additional training.

Toyota pays them their full salary when something like this happens.
This idle does not help the laid off workers, or help Toyota's image or sales, but it will give Toyota enough time to correct their problems(accelerator pedals/floor mats), including the drive-shaft problems on their Tundra Pick-ups.
