Google announced that it will begin to highlight data quality account issues related to Vehicle ads within Google Merchant Center. This will begin in mid-April 2026.
Google said this is "to make sure your vehicles comply with Google's Vehicle ads data quality requirements, we evaluate both the submitted vehicle data and the associated website content for every vehicle uploaded to your account."
Vehicles will be disapproved if the vehicle data across your data source and landing page doesn’t match. In the Merchant Center account issues page, Google will display what the issue is and how to fix it. To maintain listing approval, please monitor and resolve all warnings on the account issues page of your Merchant Center.
Here are some examples of data quality issues:
