BMW Fallout

Because of issues with leaks that may develop in power breaking systems, the BMW company of North America has recently decided to recall nearly 200,000 of their released vehicles. Many of the vehicles that are being taken back include: 5,6, and 7 series powered by V8 and V12 engines. The German automaker of these vehicles stated that the leakage that may occur with these vehicles could possibly lead to vacuum loss and even reduction of power breaking. Lucky, no accidents or injuries have been recorded so far. In order for safety issues to be fulfilled, BMW has prepared to distribute replacement parts throughout North America and the company has also chosen to send letters through the mail to any BMW owners who may be affected by this issue. Many people have been asked to make appointments with their dealers just to be safe. With BMW's being known as some of the top of the line cars in a America, issues as such make most people wonder why this car is so highly acknowledged. When one thinks of a BMW, usually the words high-class and luxury come to mind; however, when the company has to recall a vast majority of cars it makes people worry. What other problems do these cars have that BMW has not yet discovered? Though most people may say that this is just a minor glitch and BMW is still a great car to own, one cannot help but stay aware for any future issues.
