The German car firm BMW has said that it is to recall over 100,000 cars in the UK due to a problem with their battery which, in extreme cases, could lead to a fire.

The firm, which is having to recall 1.3 million cars worldwide, including 367,000 in the USA, says that the move affects the 5 Series and 6 Series models where the battery cable cover has not been properly fitted. It says that, in some cases this could lead to the driver not being able to start their car and could, in rare circumstances, cause an electrical malfunction which may result in a fire.

BMW stresses that no accidents or injuries have been reported and the issue was only brought to their attention through continued testing and customer feedback. The company says that it will contact owners in the coming weeks to make arrangements for their vehicle to be checked.

Client feedback

Excellent. Engaged, honest and quick throughout. When they said something would be done, it was. Couldn't be happier.

I found Sidraa to be very thorough, proactively raising questions about the conveyance even before I had asked her myself. All communication was clear and regular updates provided, which was very helpful.It was a stressful process (what house move isn’t!)due to an issue dragging on, no fault on the Solicitors’ part but meant exchange and completion in quick succession! Ultimately, Sidraa and Tom worked very hard to achieve the completion date everyone wanted so thank you 🙏

Emily was a very patient and supportive lady, as we were not very clued in to dealing with some of the internet issues and she guided us through it.Emily made altering our wills a breeze, would use this firm Winston solicitors 100 percent for all our business.

Leasa and the team at Winston solicitors have been really good. Leasa was very thorough in her work helping me with my house purchase. I can highly recommend her and Winston solicitors for conveyancing.

Winston Solicitors are the best solicitor firm I have dealt with. They helped sell my house. Sidraa and Tom were always communicating with me and turned things round quickly when I was going out of the country. I would definitely use them again and that’s not the case usually with solicitor firms.
