BMW to recall another 1m diesel vehicles

German carmaker BMW said yesterday it would recall more than 1 million more diesel cars, citing a problem with the exhaust system that “in extreme cases can cause a fire.”

“In some diesel vehicles, glycol cooling fluid can leak” from a faulty component called the exhaust gas recirculation cooler, which can combine with other substances in the system to create the fire risk, the group said.

BMW said it was contacting sellers who would contact owners of affected vehicles to arrange a checkup.

“The exhaust recirculation module will be checked and if there is a fault the parts will be exchanged,” the group said.

BMW in August announced a recall for Europe and some Asian countries of over 480,000 vehicles affected by the same problem, and issued an apology in South Korea after around 30 cars caught fire there.
