TOKYO—Toyota Motor Co. on Friday expanded production stoppages at some factories in Japan because of a shortage of components shipped from parts plants in Southeast Asia.

The latest halts will cut car output by 9,000 vehicles when added to curbs announced on Thursday, affecting the production of Lexus models and its four-wheel-drive Land Cruiser, Toyota said in a press release.
