Nissan will reduce 1,400 units next week at its Kyushu plant due to ongoing semiconductor shortages linked to Nexperia. Affected models include the Serena MPV and Rogue/X-Trail SUV. Earlier in November, production of Rogue and Note models was already cut at Kyushu and Oppama plants, reflecting continuing supply chain disruption.

The shortage originates from wafer shipment delays from Nexperia’s Netherlands operations to China, affecting assembly and automotive-grade chip availability. Dutch authorities are engaging with Chinese partners to resolve the issue, but the timing remains uncertain.

Other automakers are responding differently: Volkswagen reports stable chip supply, while Honda and Continental subsidiaries are gradually resuming production as shipments restart. The situation highlights uneven recovery in the global automotive semiconductor supply chain.

How AXTEK Helps Customers Navigate Chip Shortages

AXTEK Electronic Co., Limited, with 14 years of experience, offers OEMs, EMS providers, and distributors critical support during semiconductor volatility:

    *  Stable inventory of key brands (TI, ST, NXP, ADI, TDK, TE, Holtek, domestic alternatives) to reduce downtime

    *  Fast BOM matching and EOL/NRND sourcing for urgent production needs

    *  Technical support and solution expertise for automotive and industrial applications

    *  100% new and original components, ensuring supply reliability

By leveraging AXTEK’s resources, customers can secure critical components, minimize production interruptions, and mitigate supply chain risks amid ongoing chip shortages.

Nissan’s repeated cuts show the fragility of the automotive supply chain. Working with reliable distributors like AXTEK is essential to maintain manufacturing continuity and adapt to market volatility.
