Chevrolet will continue to honour all warranties and provide servicing back-up for all of its vehicles. A spokesman said that the brand has made a committment to provide parts for the next 10 years, and that servicing will be provided through other General Motors dealerships.
Many Chevrolet models are currently made in South Korea, and they will continue to be sold in markets such as Russia.
