    BMW recalls 1.3 million cars worldwide



    excerpt

    The recall affects 5- and 6-Series BMWs built between 2003 and 2010, BMW said in a statement.
    "In some remote cases, the battery cable cover inside the boot of these vehicles may be incorrectly mounted," it said. In some European countries, the trunk is called the car's boot.
    "This can result in the electrical system malfunctioning, the vehicle failing to start and, in some cases, to charring or fire," the company said, adding it was not aware of any accidents or injuries to people due to the problem.

    For a battery cable cover? Why doesn't BMW just tell the owners to slap some electrical tape on there?

      Have you seen 90% of new BMW owners? They probably don't even know what BMW stands for.
