BMW, Rolls-Royce recall nearly 200,000 cars over leaky brakes
Filed under: Recalls, BMW, Rolls-Royce, Luxury
Do you own a BMW product? Does that BMW product have a V8 or V12 engine under the hood? If you answered yes to both questions, listen up – BMW of North America has announced that they are getting ready to recall about 198,000 cars because their power braking systems have the potential to develop a leak.
The affected cars include:
- 2002-08 BMW 745i/Li, 750i/Li, and 760i/Li
- 2007-08 BMW Alpina B7
- 2004-10 BMW 645i and 650i
- 2004-10 BMW 545i and 550i
If you happen to own a Rolls-Royce Phantom (2003-2010), don’t think your opulence can escape a potentially faulty braking system. Your ultra-lux land yacht is also part of the impending recall.
Though the leak can cause a reduction in braking power, BMW says the vehicles can still be brought to a halt safely. No accidents or injuries have been reported as a result of this issue. Official press release available after the jump. Thanks for the tip, Charles!
