In December 2007, Navistar announced that it had reached a tentative, non-binding agreement with GM to acquire its medium-duty truck business, including assets and intellectual property rights to manufacture GMC and Chevrolet brand vehicles in the class 4-8 gross vehicle weight range, as well as the purchase of the related service parts business. Navistar would sell a competitive line of Chevrolet and GMC vehicles and service parts through GM's proprietary dealer network in the United States and Canada. The company has had problems filing financial documents with the SEC over the past several years due to accounting troubles. Navistar stock now trades on the Over-the-Counter market.
