If you want a 2021 Subaru Forester, you might want to buy one soon. Subaru Corporation announced starting April 10, production of the Forester and other models at the Yajima Plant in Gunma, Japan, will be temporarily suspended again. The production adjustments at its automobile manufacturing facilities in Japan are due to interruptions in the global supply of certain parts using semiconductors.
Subaru announced the plant would stay dark April 10–27, 2021 (13 workdays: April 10, 12–16, 19–23, and 26–27). Part of the production lines will resume operations on April 21. All of the production lines will resume operations on May 10.
The automobile manufacturing facilities at the Yajima Plant in Gunma, Japan, are where Subaru makes the number-one-selling 2021 Forester compact SUV and the hot new 2021 Crosstrek subcompact SUV for the U.S. and other global markets. The Gunma plant manufactures the Crosstrek, WRX, WRX STI, and BRZ for the U.S. and global customers.
