BMW will recall more than 120,200 models of its 5-Series and 6-Series sedans to fix a problem in their batteries, according to a statement posted yesterday on the website of China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
The recall, from May 10, will affect 118,256 units of the BMW 5-Series sedans produced by its Chinese joint venture, BMW Brilliance Automotive, between March 2003 and September 2010, and 381 imported units of the same model that were made during the period.
The German carmaker will also recall 1,046 units of its imported 6-Series coupes produced between September 2003 and July 2010 as well as 563 units of the 6-Series cabriolet models made from December 2003 to July 2010.
BMW said the faulty batteries may stall the engine and cause fire under extreme cases.
BWM dealers will contact the affected customers from April 26 to arrange for free repair. For more details, the owners may contact the BMW hotline 400-800-6666 or check the website www.aqsiq.gov.cn.
This comes two months after BMW did a recall of 3,406 imported Mini Coopers in China.
