BMW Recalls All 2003-2010 5-Series and 6-Series

We not usually cover automotive recalls on Autoviva. There is always a recall going on, and they do not necessarily point to a car's overall quality. However, this is a big one. BMW is recalling all 2003 to 2010 5-series and 6-series cars due to the incorrect mounting of the battery cable cover in the trunk. The recall affects about 1.3 million cars worldwide. 

If this problem is left unfixed, it can cause electrical system malfunctions, the car not starting and the possibility of fires. Although, BMW claims that it knows of no examples of anyone being injured because of the problem. 

BMW will contact owners by mail soon, and they can bring the car in for free service for the recall.
