WASHINGTON—General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. said Thursday they will cut additional production because of the nagging semiconductor shortage that has hit global auto production.

GM, the largest U.S. automaker, said it will extend by two weeks a halt to Chevrolet Blazer sport utility vehicle production at its Ramos plant in Mexico because of the ongoing chips shortage as it resumes production at other North American plants.
