“Hyundai and Kia may be more affected as they tend to import more parts from China than other global automakers,” said Lee Hang-koo, senior researcher at the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics & Trade.“South Korean parts makers followed and built their own facilities along with Hyundai,” Lee said.
Most of Hyundai’s South Korean factories will be fully idled from Feb. 7, while some production lines are expected to restart on Feb. 11 or Feb. 12, a union official said, declining to be identified given the sensitivity of the matter.The move follows a shortage of wiring harnesses which Hyundai sources mainly in China, industry officials said.
