BMW RECALL

After the biggest egg recall in the U.S last month,  another big recall occurs. Nearly 200,000 luxury vehicles in that country are being recalled to fix leaks in the braking system. Cars affected by the problems are V8 and V12 engine cars in the BMW 5, 6 and 7 ranges, and Rolls-Royce – a BMW subsidiary – built between July 2001 and November 2009.

What's wrong with the braking system?
According to the spokesman of the company, in the affected vehicles, a leak may develop in the power braking system, potentially causing a vacuum loss and consequent reduction of power braking assistance.


This is not the first recall done by the company. Last 2 years, in August 2008 BMW announced a recall of 200000 cars and small SUVs because of possible airbag failure.

Even the recall may extend to 350,000, no accidents or injuries reported.
