GM suspends big truck orders

General Motors has told its dealers it has suspended production of some 2008 full-sized trucks and SUVs because of the American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings strike.

The vehicles:

— GMC Yukon

— GMC Denali

— GMC Sierra heavy-duty regular cab

— GMC Sierra heavy-duty extended cab

— GMC commercial heavy-duty

— Chevrolet Tahoes and same variants for Chevrolet full-sized trucks.

"Essentially, we're not accepting any more orders," says Randy Fox, GMC spokesman.

GM says it already had all the orders it could process at this time because the strike is preventing GM from getting parts. If the strike continues, there might be additional production cuts, GM spokeswoman Susan Garontakos says. AutoWeek
