Nearly 10,000 BMWs in S'pore affected by safety recall

[Darthrevan]

About 10,000 BMW 5- and 6-series cars sold here are affected by a global safety recall of 1.3 million vehicles.

 

This is believed to be the biggest exercise in Singapore involving BMW, last year's best-selling brand.

 

The flaw - found in cars made between 2003 and 2010 - pertains to a battery cable cover that may have been mounted incorrectly.

 

The carmaker said this could result in an electrical malfunction and, in the worst case, an electrical fire. But it said that it had not come across any injury or accident arising from the flaw.

 

 

The LTA says the recall affects 8,441 5-series (above) and 764 6-series cars sold by authorised agent Performance Motors, while about 520 parallel imports are affected.
