Toyota Motor’s sales and production plateaued last month, buoyed by a slight rebound abroad after a prolonged slump in Japan.

Global sales, including that of subsidiaries Daihatsu Motor and Hino Motors, rose 0.4% in October compared with last year to 974,245 units — the first uptick in three months and a record for October.

Production fell 1.3% to 1.02 million units, the company said Thursday.
