Oct 4 (Reuters) - General Motors ( GM ) has temporarily

halted truck and SUV production at two assembly plants in Texas

and Michigan because of impacts to its suppliers due to

Hurricane Helene, the automaker said Friday.

The Detroit automaker said production at Flint Assembly

and Arlington Assembly for all shifts had been canceled on

Thursday and Friday due to the hurricane's impact on suppliers.

"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,"

GM said in a statement.

GM builds the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon

and Cadillac Escalade at its Arlington, Texas plant and the

Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra at the Flint Assembly plant.
