[KN] Limited market reach.
[AN] Specialized manufacturers may have a limited customer base as they cater to specific segment of the market.
[AN+] This can make it challenging to grow or diversify their customer base.

[KN] Leaning on suppliers can be a reason of losses.
[AN] Specialization can make manufactures heavily dependent on specific suppliers for specialized components or materials and so changes in supplier relationships can disrupt production.
[AN+] This can lead to a loss of great amount of time and decrease in customer satisfaction too.

(KN) Will be able to do only work they are specialized in
(AN) as due to specialization one can only focus or perform better on tasks given to them according to their skill,
(AN+)hence meaning that the car manufacturer won't be able to do other work as effectively or efficiently than the work they are specialized in.

(KN) Their will be a small customer base due to the demographic market
(AN) as through specialization when the cars that are manufactured will be of high quality or perhaps luxurious in nature, some people will be less persuaded to buy the product due to the demographic market,
(AN+) hence meaning, that the consumer base for the products will be short due to their high quality and efficient manufacturing.
