M3 GTR removed from garage after every game.

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug I completed the Rockport legends challenge. I was not awarded the M3 GTR legends edition. However it did appear in the car shop. If I buy the car, a label pops up saying the car is awarded to EA play members. I do not have EA play. Once I quit the game, the car is deleted and must be repurchased. Looks like the game is checking for an EA play subscription and removing the car since I do not have it even though the car should be unlocked through the lockdown mode.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have no/canceled EA play subscription and try to buy the M3 GTR Legends Edition.
What happens when the bug occurs? Car is removed from garage, all money invested is lost, car remains purchasable in car shop.
What do you expect to see? A lack of machine where once there was machine. Lighter wallet.

At one time I had EA play but canceled it over a year ago. Once I unlocked the BMW M3 GTR Legends Edition through the Rockport Legends challenge, I was never awarded the car. However, I did find it for sale in the car lot. The car is purchasable but a small tag appears stating that the car is gifted to EA Play members. I can use the car through the session but If i quit out of the game and restart it, the car is removed from the garage. It will still appear in the car shop. I have a suspicion that when the game is launched it checks for the subscription and since I do not have it, it checks for related content and removes it.
