However, the popular MBW brand of North America LLC will nonetheless be recalling over a half-million Beemers for different safety reasons coming in the next week.
According to a U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the recalls are due to a situation with the braking system. A second recall has to do with an electrical malfunction in the cars. The former is anticipated to begin quickly, starting within the month, while the latter is expected be start officially next month.
