Microchip Shortage: Losses in America
About 23,900 units were added to AutoForecast Solutions’ tally of the number of vehicles removed from automakers’ production plans because of the microchip shortage this year. Roughly 33,900 were cut at North American plants, with another 5,200 being axed in South America. But the AFS estimate for the number of cuts at plants in Asia outside of China improved by about 15,200 units from the prior week’s estimate, offsetting some of the losses in the Americas. Ford and Stellantis are among the automakers that continue to show “production hiccups” that are limiting the number of vehicles they produce, said Sam Fiorani, AFS vice president of global vehicle forecasting, in an email. Still, production in China has been stabilizing, helping to limit the number of global vehicle losses. Projections for loss by region are as follows:
North America YTD – 1,420,400 (2022 Projected – 1,486,500)
Europe YTD – 1,351,400 (2022 Projected – 1,520,000)
Rest of Asia YTD – 749,400 (2022 Projected – 833,500)
South America YTD – 190,100 (2022 Projected – 190,700)
Total YTD – 3,928,900 (2022 Projected – 4,301,500)
Toyota Smart Key Supply Issues
Due to a smart key supply issue, Toyota will temporarily limit one (1) smart key on select models produced in October and November. Please note that this will include RAV4, Camry, Sienna, Highlander, Tundra and Sequoia — including hybrids. Similar to the Tacoma key situation last year, Toyota will initiate a special service campaign at a later date to provide customers with a second key.

Microchip Shortage: Europe Hit Hard
AutoForecast Solutions added more than 289,000 vehicles to its tally of the number of vehicles cut because of the microchip shortage in 2022, sending the year-to-date total up about 8% from just a week earlier. As the shortage nears its third year, it remains unclear when it will finally end. Hope that new microchip production capacity will outpace high demand across multiple sectors before the end of 2023 “is fading from reality,” said Sam Fiorani, AFS vice president of global vehicle forecasting.
Projections for loss by region are as follows:
North America YTD – 1,386,500 (2022 Projected – 1,453,400)
Europe YTD – 1,351,400 (2022 Projected – 1,520,000)
Rest of Asia YTD – 764,600 (2022 Projected – 848,700)
South America YTD – 184,900 (2022 Projected – 185,600)
Total YTD – 3,905,000 (2022 Projected – 4,278,500)

Factory Production Shortages Soften
The forecast for lost 2022 factory production resulting from microchip shortages has softened by a small amount, according to the latest estimate from AutoForecast Solutions. But AFS predicts the year will still end with factories worldwide having eliminated 4.26 million vehicles from their plans this year because of inadequate chip supplies. That is modestly lower than the 4.39 million year-end total AFS forecast one week ago.
Projections for loss by region are as follows:
North America YTD – 1,364,300 (2022 Projected – 1,484,900)
Europe YTD – 1,102,300 (2022 Projected – 1,374,700)
Rest of Asia YTD – 749,400 (2022 Projected – 910,200)
South America YTD – 184,900 (2022 Projected – 186,200)
