Crisis-hit Toyota said Friday it will suspend production at its plants in Britain and France for a total of 12 days from next week after a global sales dip following its mass safety recalls. The world’s largest automaker will halt work at its British factories from next Monday to Thursday and again from April 6 to 9, when it will also temporarily stop output from its plant in France.
