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

I was recommended James Urquhart-Burton by a legal friend to support with my husband's CHC funding and I felt very supported straight away from my first email and subsequent conversations. James is very approachable, down to earth and knowledgable. I was in very good hands and we were eventually awarded full CHC funding with James ensuring that all aspects were fully covered right down to the fine details, securing the right outcome for our family. I would highly recommend James & the team at Winstons Solicitors to any family wanting support with navigating the complicated pathway of CHC funding.

Winston's location is easy for me to get to & the off-road parking is much appreciated. Ms Emily Spencer handled the matter of my Will. Emily was professional, courteous and offered much appropriate advice. Overall, a somewhat sombre matter was dealt with to my full satisfaction.

They were incredibly responsive, never kept me waiting, and took the time to explain every small detail clearly. Professional, efficient, and thoroughly reliable! I couldn’t have asked for better support!
