A bang in the car industry: The German company BMW is recalling more than 61,000 cars worldwide because of a software error. This affects the models X3, X4 and X5 from the years of construction 2016 to 2022, as can be seen from information on the website of the German Federal Motor Transport Authority. Outside of Germany, almost 50,000 cars are affected.
The faulty software update can lead to loss of torque and engine failure. There has been no property damage so far and no one has been injured. The information is dated last Tuesday. Customers receive a message A BMW spokesman said on Thursday that affected customers would receive a message to bring their car to the workshop. The software will then be reprogrammed there. Large BMW recall campaign as early as March It was only at the beginning of March that BMW called almost a million cars into the workshops in North America. The reason at that time was that a valve could overheat as a result of a short circuit, which posed a risk of fire. The recall affected some important models such as the 3 and 5 series or the X3 and X5 SUV models from different model years from 2006 to 2013.
