The Chevrolet Camaro is one of a handful of new products that has the potential to create some buzz for the ailing automaker, but one GM’s Camaro supplier is turning out to be just that – a real handful. Auto supplier Candence was charged with supplying interior parts for the upcoming pony car, but was forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy last August. That quickly resulted in a lawsuit from GM, which Candence has now followed with a countersuit.
Candence’s lawsuit against GM claims the Detroit automaker owes it $4.9 million for parts, labor and equipment, according to Reuters. Troy, Michigan-based Candence – which is now in Chapter 7 liquidation – says that GM’s failure to pay could disrupt its bankruptcy process.
“GM’s breach of contract will result in substantial harm to Cadence’s bankruptcy estate, which is dependent on the funds that GM must pay to Cadence to confirm a plan in its bankruptcy case,” the parts supplier said in a statement.
Per a previous October ruling, GM is required to pay Candence on an expedited schedule for parts and services, on account of its bankruptcy filing.
