Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co. called into question an agreement reached less than two months ago to consider combining, casting doubt on their efforts to form one of the world’s largest automakers.
The pair are discussing various options, including the possibility of withdrawing from deal talks, according to separate statements issued Wednesday. The companies were responding to an earlier Nikkei newspaper report that said Nissan will pull out of an agreement with Honda because the two sides are unable to agree on terms.
