Sometimes, there were differences between the way the cars were ordered and how they were actually built. These exceptions were rare occurrences, and with the understanding that "the assembly line does not stop," the SRG has identified and explained 69 package exceptions.

There were also 340 trim exceptions caused by materials availability and human mistakes at the San Jose assembly plant.
