The latest halts will cut car output by 9,000 vehicles, affecting the Land Cruiser 300 and Lexus models.

Although limited, the cuts come as Toyota tries to make up for production lost to earlier supply-chain disruptions in Malaysia and Vietnam that forced it to trim vehicle output even as demand for cars in markets such as China rebounded as coronavirus lockdowns ended.

Despite the stoppage, the automaker said it is sticking to an annual production target set in September to build 9 million vehicles by the end of March.
