GM South Africa HUMMER announcement

GM will honour HUMMER warranties

Not that there are a huge number of them in South Africa but nevertheless HUMMER owners can breathe a sigh of relief. GM South Africa has announced that despite GM head office winding down the HUMMER brand, local operations will be unaffected. Whilst the news from GM South Africa may be good news for HUMMER owners the statement that local operations won’t be impacted is, well it can be misleading.

GM will no longer distribute and sell HUMMER vehicles in South Africa, which to me is the definition of local operations being affected. To be fair South African production of the HUMMER H3 was halted in May 2009 so local operations won’t change in terms of them already being dead for awhile now. The element of local operations that will remain unaffected completely it seems is after sales service. GM will continue to care for their customers vehicle through their HUMMER approved dealerships and all warranties will be honoured.
