U.S. Citizens Arrested After Alleged Coup Attempt In The Democratic Republic Of The Congo: Here’s What We Know So Far BMW , Jaguar Land Rover and Volkswagen purchased parts from a banned Chinese supplier, some of which were used in vehicles imported to the U.S. , according to findings from a Senate investigation published Monday, amid a crackdown by officials on goods manufactured by forced labor in China.

Volkswagen informed U.S. customs at the time that some cars in transit to the U.S. contained the part and subsequently replaced the part before the cars entered the country. Jaguar Land Rover told the committee its North American subsidiary did not receive a notification from Lear about the part until April, noting the parts were used in older vehicles no longer for sale.

The committee said BMW imported at least 8,000 MINI vehicles with the banned part after being notified, though the company said it halted imports of the component and would replace the part in vehicles that used them. BMW told Forbes in a statement the company was reviewing the report, adding it has “strict standards and policies regarding employment practices, human rights and working conditions” that its suppliers are also required to follow.We’re launching text message alerts so you'll always know the biggest stories shaping the day’s headlines.
