TOKYO—Toyota Motor Corp. on Wednesday posted record-high global production in March, as overseas production made up for a drop off at home, highlighting the impact of factory stoppages and weaker consumer demand in Japan.

Japan’s largest automaker produced 866,775 vehicles worldwide in March it said, marking a 2.8 percent increase from the same month last year and a monthly record.
