(bbc) -- German
luxury carmaker BMW is recalling some 1.3 million cars worldwide because of
potential battery problems that could, in extreme cases, result in a
fire.
The cars involved are 5 and 6 Series models built between 2003 and
2010. The company said it had received nine reports of the defect, but was not
aware of any injuries resulting from the fault.
Owners should take the
vehicles to authorised dealers for repair. It said the battery cable cover may
be incorrectly mounted. A company statement said: "In order to carry out a
quality measure, BMW is recalling all BMW 5 and 6 Series models of the previous
generation, built between 2003 and 2010 and still on the market, for repair at
authorised dealers. |
