“Plant management remains in close contact with Nissan’s global supply chain function to assess the need for any further action to align production with the availability of parts on an ongoing basis.
“Demand for all Sunderland-produced models [Note, Juke and Qashqai] remains high, and once the normal delivery of components has been reestablished, the plant will work to recover any lost volume as quickly as possible.”
Nissan added it was “confident of making a complete recovery in the short term”.
