MEXICO CITY, Aug 26 (Reuters) - General Motors' (GM.N) main Mexico plant that makes GMC and Chevrolet pick-up trucks will halt production next week over supply chain issues, the company said Friday.
The U.S. carmaker will suspend work beginning Aug. 29 and aim to restart Sept. 5, it added.
"General Motors is working actively with its base of suppliers to resolve issues as they arise to meet customer demand," GM said in a statement.
It added that North America production has been "relatively stable" since the third quarter of last year, but supply chain interruptions have continued.
