Largest BMW recall: more than 500 thousand cars will be checked due to fire risk

According to Bild, in Germany alone, 28,000 cars are subject to recall. However, the global scope of the campaign could be much wider.

The problem, as engineers found out, lies in the electronics: when starting the engine, a short circuit is possible, which in some cases can lead to a fire.

The service promotion covers the BMW 2 Series Coupe, various modifications of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Series, the 6th Series Gran Turismo, the 7th Series Limousine, as well as the X4, X5, X6 crossovers and the Z4 Roadster.

The specialized publication kfz-Betrieb names a specific number of recalled cars – 575 thousand units, but BMW has not yet officially confirmed it.

It was previously reported that UAZ is testing new diesel models in extreme conditions.
