By David Shepardson

(Reuters) -General Motors 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.
