So tonight at work (GM)
We were shut down early on 2nd shift and 3rd shift was sent home due to failures in the HD duramax trannys. This also effects 2 other plants in the US.
From what I understand, trannys were breaking almost instantly when the new trucks were being tested. |

Good that it happened so early instead of, say, 3months into the trannies life. That would create recalls, bad press, and serious warranty expense.
