Why this issue is happening
Some of the images for your vehicles listed for sale on Google have promotional text or obstructing elements, such as retailer logos, calls to action, or watermarks. Since clear images of a vehicle help inform online shoppers, all vehicle ads require an image with an unobstructed view of the vehicle that doesn’t contain additional promotional elements. Vehicle ads that don’t meet this requirement will receive warnings until you’ve updated their images. Turn on image improvements to automatically fix your images. Learn more about image requirements and guidelines for vehicle ads.
How to fix your issue
To resolve this issue, change the URL that you’ve submitted for the image link [image_link] attribute so that it points to the vehicle image without overlays. Submit a new URL rather than updating an existing URL with new content, as this will force a faster fetch of the new image.
