General Motors

Under a provisional agreement with the union Unifor, General Motors will invest CAD 1.1 billion in Canada’s auto sector. CAD 144 million of that is earmarked for production of the next-generation heavy pickup GMC Sierra at the Oshawa plant, and GM also pledged not to sell or close the Ingersoll assembly plant for the time being. The agreement still needs to be approved by around 4,600 union members. The investment comes against the backdrop of an escalating trade dispute with the US and possible US tariffs of up to 50 percent. » Plus sur manager-magazin.de

According to a tentative agreement with the union Unifor, General Motors plans investments totaling C$1.1 billion at its sites in Ontario. These include C$144 million to move production of the new GMC Sierra to Oshawa, C$691 million for new V8 engines and C$215 million for a new transmission plant in St. Catharines starting at the end of 2029. GM also secures protections for the CAMI plant in Ingersoll and retains priority for possible defense contracts; the workforce will vote on the agreement this weekend. The commitments come against the backdrop of looming US tariffs on Canadian vehicles and parts, which are set to rise significantly from 2027. » Plus sur de.investing.com

NHTSA opened an engineering analysis covering 997,743 GM pickups and SUVs with the L87 V‑8 engine from model years 2021–2026, including Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Yukon. The agency logged roughly 500 complaints of post‑recall engine failures and 191 failures in vehicles built after the prior recall, while GM has reported about 6,953 post‑repair complaints and disclosed roughly $500 million in incremental costs tied to the L87 issue. GM attributed the initial defect to a supplier; if NHTSA finds the recall repair inadequate the probe could trigger further repairs, replacements or expanded recalls and additional costs. » Plus sur finance.yahoo.com
