Jaguar Land Rover told the BBC it “takes human rights and forced labour issues seriously and has an active ongoing programme of human rights protection and anti-slavery measures”. <\/p>\n
BMW and VW did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n
Mr Wyden also urged the US Customs and Border Protection agency to “supercharge enforcement and crack down on companies that fuel the shameful use of forced labour in China.”<\/p>\n
The report added Jaguar Land Rover had imported spare parts which included components from JWD after the company was put on the banned list.<\/p>\n
JLR said it has now identified and is destroying any stock it holds around the world that include this component.<\/p>\n
In February, VW said thousands of its vehicles, including Porshes and Bentleys, had been held by authorities because they had a component in them that breached America’s anti-forced labour laws.<\/p>\n
VW had voluntarily informed customs officials about the issue, the report said.<\/p>\n
Congress passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) law in 2021.<\/p>\n
The legislation is intended to prevent the import of goods from China’s north-western Xinjiang region that are believed to have been made by people from the Uyghur minority group in forced labour conditions. <\/p>\n
JWD was added to the UFLPA Entity List in December 2023, which means its products are presumed to be made with forced labour.<\/p>\n
China has been accused of detaining more than one million Uyghurs in Xinjiang against their will over the past few years.<\/p>\n
Authorities have denied all allegations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
