You link states that all the manufacturers were able to circumvent the issue by importing them incomplete and installing a few final touches to allow them to be considered domestically produced, so I don't see this as the case.

It also appears that it was aimed at commercial fleet vehicles, based on the models it discussed.  I could be misinterpreting that part though.
