GM responds that only a "small number" of Mexican-made Chevy Cruzes are sold in the United States, CNBC reports.
"All Chevrolet Cruze sedans sold in the U.S. are built in GM's assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio," the company said in a statement. "GM builds the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback for global markets in Mexico, with a small number sold in the U.S."
One Mexican-made model is sold in the United States, accounting for only about 2 percent of sales, according to the Detroit automaker..
