Quite likely not, as the vitals of many vehicles probably don't qualify as an occupied location. Though they might on a large vehicle with engineering spaces around the engines. Or even relatively small vehicles of some designs, like a tank without a separate engine compartment.

IIRC, there's a special effect from a Major Wound to vehicular Vitals.

Whether the cr ex damage type is the right one for HEAT may be a worthwhile question too...
