A slump in China and fewer factory days in Japan drove the pullback.

  • Global sales fell 2.2% to 900,011 vehicles, the first year-over-year drop in eleven months.
  • China production slid 14.0% to 145,707 units, with reports citing expanded subsidy withdrawals and a RAV4 model change as key factors.
