The two  prefectures were affected severely by the magnitude 8.8 quake. The suspension is partly to check whether workers at the factories are safe, a Toyota official said. Nissan Motor Co. plans to suspend production at its three domestic  plants on Monday as two of the plants have been damaged by the quake.Honda Motor Co. will suspend production at its assembly plants in Saitama and Mie prefectures. Nippon Steel Corp. has also suspended operations at its steel mill in  Kamaishi, Iwate, which was hit by quake-induced tsunami. Supply of  steel products for automakers will be disrupted if the steel mill  sustains severe damage. Toyo Tire & Rubber Co. and Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd. have  also suspended operations at their plants in Fukushima Prefecture, while  GS Yuasa Corp. has suspended production of car batteries at its plant  in Gunma Prefecture. Fukushima Prefecture has also been affected  severely by the earthquake. Among electric and electronics product makers, Mitsubishi Electric  Corp. and NEC Corp. said they will check production lines at their  plants to determine whether to resume production on Monday.     (Mainichi Japan) March 13, 2011</blockquote>
