GM restarts SUV production at storm-damaged plant

DETROIT, June 30 (Reuters) - General Motors Corp. said on Monday it had restarted production at an Oklahoma City factory that suffered severe damage from a tornado in early May.

The plant builds seven-passenger versions of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy sport utility vehicles. GM said earlier this month the costs of the damage and the lost production would lower its second-quarter earnings by 25 cents to 35 cents a share.

GM had about 50,000 vehicles from the plant in inventory when the storm struck on May 8 and did not suffer any shortages from the shutdown.
