BMW has announced that it is recalling over 350,000 BMW and Rolls-Royce automobiles throughout the world because of issues with power braking assist. BMW 5- through 7-Series and Rolls-Royce Phantom models built between 2002 and 2010 make up the BMW recall. The Bavarian Motor Works 5-Series sedan isn’t incorporated within the BMW recall 2010, notes Frank Strebe, BMW spokesman.
Bavarian Motor Works recall taking place due to the power brake product having issues
According to Bloomberg, some BMW and Rolls-Royce drivers with higher-mileage automobiles found that they have to push harder on the brake pedal than normal in order to come to a stop. This occurs because of a loss of vacuum pressure in the brake pump, which is brought on by leakage within the power brake assist module.
While no accidents or injuries have been connected to the power brake problem yet, BMW is encouraging customers to take proactive steps to remedy the issue. Owners may also be notified of the BMW recall via first-class mail within the next few weeks. Ultimately, owners can bring their cars back to the dealership for free repairs – which Strebe estimates will take anywhere from two hours to at most half a day. Bavarian Motor Works Consumer Relations are accessible for contact at 800-525-7417 and at customer.relations@bmwna.com if you need more info on North American BMW.
Cash gone from BMW
Bavarian Motor Works does not know how much the power brake product repairs will cost after offering free repair to all Bavarian Motor Works recall customers. Since August 12, BMW has had the largest mid-day stock which is about 3.3 percent accounts Bloomberg.
