A U.S. congressional investigation released Monday found that carmakers BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and Volkswagen had used components from a Chinese supplier banned in the United States over alleged forced labor ties.

VW made vehicles for the U.S. market with such components too, and has "ongoing business ties" to manufacturing in China's northwestern Xinjiang region, the report said.
