具体来看，有7044辆进口路虎发现的召回原因为“制造工艺问题，车辆蓄电池的接地螺栓可能受损，导致蓄电池接地螺栓与底盘接地不良。极端情况下可能出现车辆电力中断，造成车辆无法启动或车辆行驶中发动机熄火并影响转向助力、制动助力等功能，存在安全隐患 ”。
宝马宣布自2020年12月11日起召回6辆进口Z4，原因是车辆的燃油箱在生产流程中冷焊工艺未达到标准，导致燃油箱上半部分和下半部分之间的焊接不牢固。
大众则针对2020年5月22日发布的召回，扩大召回6辆进口途威系列汽车。原因是车辆由于工厂整备工序对安装车顶扰流板的作业指导不充分(温度、时间、清洁度等)，还可能使用了不恰当的接合剂，造成车顶扰流板可能从车身脱落。
