Nissan is to suspend production in the UK for three days due to parts shortages caused by the Japan earthquake.
The stoppage at its Sunderland plant is in addition to the planned Easter closure at the end of the month.
Honda said on Wednedsay that it would halve production at its Swindon plant from next week.
The car and the electronics industries are expected to be most affected by last month's disaster in Japan.
Nissan said it would try to minimise the impact on production and on its 5,000 staff at the plant, by substituting non-production days that had already been planned for later in the year.
"Demand for all Sunderland-produced models remains high, and once the normal delivery of components has been re-established, the plant will work to recover any lost volume as quickly as possible," said the manufacturer.
