Dutch chipmaker notifies Japanese auto parts makers of possible supply disruption

A Dutch semiconductor manufacturer has notified Japanese automobile component makers that it may not be able to guarantee chip deliveries, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association said on Thursday.

The chips produced by the affected manufacturer are critical components used in electronic control units, and this situation could cause a serious impact on the global production of member companies, the JAMA said in a statement.

The statement came as concerns mount over a stand-off between China and the Netherlands over chipmaker Nexperia.
