Toyota-owned carmaker Daihatsu has closed all four of its plants until the end of January, after admitting it had falsified safety tests.
Daihatsu admitted that it had been manipulating safety tests on 64 makes for three decades.
Its headquarters in Osaka, Japan was the last to close, on 25 December.

Of the 64 models involved in the scandal, 24 are sold with Toyota branding.
The closure of its Osaka plant follows closures in its production lines in Oita, Shiga and Kyoto prefectures.
Daihatsu said on Wednesday that it had stopped shipments of all its vehicles after its latest admission, which followed a transport ministry investigation.
It seems test results were falsified because of pressure to keep production rolling.
The company said it would work with its main suppliers to address the fallout from the scandal, adding that it may also help its smaller subcontractors that do not receive compensation to access support funds from Japan’s transport ministry.
