BMW recall

BMW Recall Initiated

Another day, another automobile recall. Last week was the week of the brake recall, where both Toyota, and Honda recalled thousands of vehicles. Today BMW announced a massive recall on over 150,000 vehicles. The recall was initiated by BMW because of fuel pump issues in many of their vehicles.

The recall affects the following vehicles, 2007-2010 335i, 2008–2010 135i, 535i and X6 xDrive35i, 2008 X5 SUVs, and 2009–2010 Z4 Roadster sDrive35i. Although no injuries or major issues have been reported from these vehicles, the recall will allow the company to look into reports of vehicles shaking, and unexpectedly slowing down. BMW stated that the fuel pump failures may result in decreased engine performance.

BMW will be contacting owners by mail with more information regarding this recall. The company was founded in 1916, and is headquartered in Munich Germany. They have subsidiaries in South Africa, The United States, India, China, Canada, Austria, and Egypt. They also produce motorcycles and bicycles.

    Finally! We had been getting so many calls from consumers regarding the defective high pressure fuel pump and were surprised about how widespread this defect was in our local market. (We are a law firm that specializes in lemon law).

    Here was our original warning : http://www.normantaylor.com/blog/lemon-law/bmw-%E2%80%93-defective-high-pressure-fuel-pumps-%E2%80%93-has-it-happened-to-you-yet/

    We speculate it’s due to the high cost and PR nightmare that comes with a recall: http://media.normantaylor.com/news.php?include=142457

    Lemon Aid,

    If we can get some movement going forward with the Mini Coopers I can manage to get a very decent sized group of owners to come forward. Let me know!
