A Senate inquiry has found BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and Volkswagen have bought parts made by a Chinese company sanctioned under a 2021 law for using forced labor.

FILE - Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., speaks with reporters on Capitol Hill on March 20, 2024, in Washington. "Automakers are sticking their heads in the sand and then swearing they cannot find any forced labor in their supply chains," said Wyden."Automakers' self-policing is clearly not doing the job.

The components were sourced via two contractors: California-based Bourns Inc. and Michigan-based Lear Corp., the latter of which is a direct supplier for BMW and Jaguar Land Rover, according to the report. BMW Group said it “has taken steps to halt the importation of affected products and will be conducting a service action with customer and dealer notification for affected motor vehicles.”
