BMW Recalls 570,00 Vehicles
February 27th, 2013 at 3:00 pm   starstarstarstarstar      
BMW announced last week that it is recalling 570,000 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada. The basis for the recall is that the battery cable connector could fail resulting in the engine stalling.
 
The models affected are the 3-Series sedans, convertibles, coupes and wagons manufactured from 2007 to 2011. Besides the 3-Series, one of BMW's most popular vehicles, the 1-Series convertibles and coupes produced from 2008-2012 and the Z4 sports car from 2009 to 2011 are also included in the recall, (BMW recalls nearly 570,000 cars to fix cables, Associated Press, http://www.freep.com/article/20130216/BUSINESS01/130216011/BMW-recalls-nearly-570-000-cars-to-fix-cables?odyssey=nav|head).
 
The defect is that the connectors and fuse box in the recalled vehicles can begin to decay with use causing an electrical fail between the battery and fuse box.  When such an electrical malfunction occurs there is then potential for engine failure.
 
There have been no reported injuries, but one minor car accident due to the defect in Canada.
 
Owners can take their vehicles into BMW dealers who will replace the damaged battery cable connector for free. The company will notify owners of the recall in March.
