The Detroit automaker's quarterly sales rose to 674,336 vehicles, from 555,580 vehicles a year earlier.
Rival Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) reported a 12.2% rise in third-quarter U.S. auto sales.
While it did not address the impact of the latest strike, a 40-day UAW strike in 2019 led to a 6% fall in sales in the fourth quarter of that year and cost the automaker $3.6 billion.
