Toyota Motor has denied media reports earlier on Tuesday its vehicle production in Japan would recover to 90% of pre-quake levels in June, higher than the 70% it had suggested on May 11.
“The situation has not changed since we announced the latest plans along with our financial results on 11 May,” Toyota spokeswoman Monika Saito told Reuters.

Public broadcaster NHK and the Kyodo news agency reported that Toyota’s domestic production would return to 90% of original plans next month. Toyota is currently producing at around 50% of pre-quake plans in Japan and an average 40% overseas.
