GM temporarily halting output at two plants on Helene supply-chain snarls

General Motors is temporarily stopping production at a plant in Michigan and one in Texas due to supply-chain fallout from Hurricane Helene.

“Production at Flint Assembly (in Mich.) is cancelled for all shifts on Oct. 4, and Arlington Assembly (in Texas) is canceled for all shifts on Oct. 4 and 7 because of impacts to suppliers as a result of Hurricane Helene,” a spokeswoman for GM said in a statement to SMU.
