All 28 vehicle assembly lines at Toyota’s 14 car plants in Japan shut down on Tuesday due to a problem in the computer system that deals with incoming parts.

The company does not believe the issue was caused by a cyber attack but the cause is still under investigation, said spokeswoman Sawako Takeda.
