Spokeswoman Renee Rogers says she doesn't have any details of the deal reached late Friday. It's not clear when the agreement will be presented to union members.

The walkout by about 3,600 workers at five factories had crippled truck and sport utility vehicle manufacturing at General Motors Corp.

The company makes axles, drive shafts and stabilizer bars for GM, Chrysler LLC and other automakers.

GM was forced to partially or fully close more than 30 factories and lay off thousands of workers because of parts shortages.
