Recalls for luxury cars

GERMAN auto giant BMW Group has begun recalling more than 21,000 luxury sedans in China to fix a faulty braking system, while British car maker Jaguar Land Rover has recalled 30 Discovery 3 TDV6 diesel vehicles, China's quality watchdog said.

BMW's recalled vehicles in China included 21,383 imported BMW 5, 6 and 7 Series autos manufactured between December 14, 2001 and November 23, 2009, along with 388 Rolls-Royce Phantom luxury cars manufactured between January 1, 2003 and November 30, 2009, according to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

BMW's recall is to fix faulty brake boosters, which may be contaminated by lubrication inside the vacuum pump and could cause the failure of the brake boosting function.

Jaguar Land Rover's recalls in China, much smaller in scale, cover 30 imported Discovery 3 TDV6 diesel vehicles which have defective lubrication inside a high-pressure fuel pump. The defect could cause a fuel leak or even fire under extreme conditions.
