General Motors faces potential production delays for its midsize and full-size pickup trucks. Nearly 1,000 workers at Michigan-based supplier American Axle are set to strike over a new labor contract. This work stoppage threatens the production of essential parts for GM's most profitable vehicle lines.
Separately, GM President Mark Reuss expressed support for a potential Formula 1 return to V8 engines. Reuss indicated that GM and its Cadillac brand would welcome the shift, citing the company's extensive V8 manufacturing history.
