BMW withdraws 1.6 million cars worldwide

Bavarians start a global diesel cars recall, which were created from August 2010 to August 2017.

The reason is a coolant leak in the exhaust gas recirculation system. As a result, cars may burn out.

BMW has discovered that some diesel engines have a thorough risk of leakage of glycol fluid from the EGR system. Leakage can lead to temperature rise, knot smoldering, melting and fire.

At first, the problem concerned 480,000 cars sold in Europe and Asia. Further, it became known that a possible fire threatens about 1.6 million cars. The exact number at BMW should be clarified as soon as possible.
