BMW Announces its Largest Recall Ever Involving 1.3 million Cars; Local Distributor Addresses Issue

BMW will recall, 1.3 million cars, including 367 000 in the U.S. because of potential problems with a wired connection to the battery.

German car maker says the problem is with the bolts connecting the positive battery cable connector isolated keys in the trunk of the vehicle.

The recall covers all BMW 5 Series sedans and sports cars between June 1, 2003 and 31 Produced in March 2010, and six series coupe and convertible between 1 September 2003 and 31 Produced in July 2010.

In the Philippines, said the importer and distributor of BMW cars Asia Corp. (ACC), it will launch a campaign to measure the quality of the previous owners of generation BMW 5 Series (E60/E61) and the BMW 6 Series (E63/E64).
