The German automaker BMW has followed Toyota and other car companies to make 2010 the year of the recall. According to the Associated Press, "BMW's recall of nearly 200,000 luxury vehicles in the U.S. to fix leaks that could develop in the power braking system may extend to another 150,000 cars of the same series around the globe, a spokesman said Friday."
The AP reported that "some 345,000 BMWs of the 5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series vehicles powered by V8 and V12 engines and almost 6,000 Rolls Royce Phantom models could be affected by the problem, BMW AG spokesman Frank Strebe said. He stressed there have been no reports of accidents or injuries."
Earlier this year, Toyota recalled millions of cars over sudden acceleration issues. Jones Ward partner Jasper Ward represents a number of families and individuals hurt or killed in Toyota accidents. Jasper can be reached at jasper@jonesward.com or by using his toll-free number 1-888-KYLAW22.
