Thousands of examples of the new 2023 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and GM vans have suffered varying degrees of hail damage while parked in lots near the Wentzville, Missouri, production plant awaiting shipment to dealerships.
According to GM Authority, around 3,300 of those midsize trucks, along with the Chevy Express and GMC Savana vans, were caught in the path of a severe spring storm last weekend.
All of these vehicles are built at Wentzville, and some were waiting for retrofits and/or quality control inspections before shipping. The automaker has not made a formal announcement confirming the damaged vehicles as the report only cites anonymous sources familiar with the matter. This latest mishap, which was obviously beyond GM’s control, will almost surely result in delayed shipments to already anxious customers.
