BMW Recalls 29,250 Sedans, SUVs to Fix Engine Stalls
News from Bloomberg, said that, BMW ( Bayerische Motoren Werke ) AG is recalling 29,250 5-Series and BMW 6-Series sedans and X5 sport- utility vehicles (SUV) to fix a static electricity problem that can cause their V-8 engines to stall.The recall, affecting BMW’s 2006 and 2007 models, was announced today by the Washington-based National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on its Web site.
The problem involves the engine’s electronic control unit, when temperatures are below freezing and humidity is low, according to a NHTSA defect report. Under those conditions, an electrostatic discharge can occur at pipes that deliver fuel to the engine’s injectors, causing the control unit to malfunction.
Dealers will attach grounding cables in the engine compartment free of charge, according to the document. Vehicles affected are the BMW 550I and BMW 650I from model years 2006 and 2007, and the BMW X5 from 2007.
