Company officials say the Salem plant has excessive levels of inventory.

For the rest it means a 7- day hiatus... as the plant will close for a week

Problems started in January... when some defective tires were sent to one of
its biggest customers, Price Costco.
Then last month, Costco broke ties with Yokohama.
Both companies insist the bad batch had nothing to do with the loss of the
contract.
Nonetheless it was a major blow for Yokohama.
Costco would usually purchase about one third of the tires made at the Salem
plant.
Now production will be cut by three percent.
Yokohama says it had no choice but to make the work force changes.
