Production at Flint Assembly and Arlington Assembly is canceled for all shifts on Thursday, October 3 and Friday, October 4 because of impacts to suppliers as a result of Hurricane Helene. We are working with these suppliers to resume operations as quickly and safely as possible for their employees and communities, as we seek to minimize impacts on our plants.
It’s unclear what, if any, impact the closures will have on production overall, and GM declined to elaborate on which suppliers were linked to the pause.
The interruption at GM marks the latest in a series of setbacks caused by Helene, which has been dubbed the deadliest hurricane in 20 years.
One Accuweather estimate put the total damage and economic loss in the U.S. from the storm between $95 billion and $110 billion. Those are daunting numbers amid reports that say the Federal Emergency Management Agency doesn't have enough funding to make it through hurricane season.
