TOKYO, Oct 27 (Reuters) – Toyota Motor Corp has discovered that even keys can be too “smart” for their own good.<\/p>\n

The world’s top-selling carmaker said on Thursday it would replace one of the two electronic “smart” keys it delivers in Japan with a mechanical one for the time being as it races to get cars to customers in Japan.<\/p>\n

“As the shortage of semiconductors continues, this is a provisional measure aimed at delivering cars to customers as quickly as possible,” Toyota said in a statement, apologising for the inconvenience.<\/p>\n

“As for the second smart key, we plan to hand it over as soon as it is ready,” it added.<\/p>\n

A global chips shortage has caused a severe delay in car production and shipments, with many buyers having to wait years to get theirs delivered.<\/p>\n

Toyota has been hit particularly hard this year, with natural disasters and other disruptions adding to their troubles.<\/p>\n

Last week, the maker of Toyota and Lexus models\u00a0warned<\/a>\u00a0that it would probably be unable to build the 9.7 million vehicles it had initially forecast for the current business year<\/p>\n
