Gm Suspends Production At Flint Hd Pickup Plant

Just weeks after starting production of the new 2011 heavy-duty pickup trucks at the Flint, MI assembly plant, General Motors suspended work last Thursday to replace a defective component. Engineers found a problem with the unidentified part during routine testing and immediately found a replacement. Three shifts of Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra HD production were canceled on Thursday and Friday, but assembly is scheduled to resume on Monday morning.

 

Trucks that have already been built and shipped to dealers over the past four weeks will also be retrofitted before customer delivery. In July, GM will also add production of light-duty pickups at Flint.

Glad they caught this.

This is the last thing we need - more bad press for GM.

The new HD trucks are awesome - they need a smooth introduction.

I'm thinking about buying one of those Denali trucks & trading my truck in for it?
