A news By yahoofreeshop:BMW has announced it will recall about 350,000 luxury cars worldwide because of a problem with brakes.
The German firm said the recall was due to a fault with the power-braking system but the cars were not unsafe.
The recall affects 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.
Of the total, 11,427 cars – including 905 Rolls-Royces – are in the UK, and 198,000 in the US.
Globally, 348,000 BMWs are affected, plus a further 5,800 Rolls-Royces.
‘Voluntary’ decision
“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,” said the company in a statement.
