There are concerns forced labor may have been used to produce an electronic component in western China
The VW Group finds itself in hot water as thousands of luxury Porsche, Bentley, and Audi models have been impounded at U.S. ports, according to a new report. This action comes after the revelation that a Chinese component used in these vehicles breaches anti-forced labor laws. Unnamed individuals with knowledge of the matter told the Financial Times that the VW Group was unaware of the origin of the part, as it comes from an indirect supplier deep within its supply chain.
These may also include the termination of a supplier relationship if our investigations confirm serious violations.” VW has notified owners of the affected vehicles via a letter, explaining that the problematic component is a “small electronic component that is a part of a larger control unit, which will be replaced.” However, the letter did not disclose the component's origin. Deliveries continue, however some unavoidable delays may occur, for which we apologize.
