Japan’s third-largest automaker Nissan Motor will slash production at several domestic Japanese plants next month, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.

Nissan will suspend production at its plant in Kyushu, southern Japan, for eight days between May 10 and 19, the sources said.
