BMW product recall

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.

Winston Solicitors was recommended to me, as this was my first time buying a house and didn’t know what to expect. They made the process very easy and I did not have to worry about any of the process as I got to track it every step of the way. Samantha also kept me updated and any queries were replied to promptly. I will definitely be using again in the future and recommend everyone I know.
Mr Michel
I can’t speak highly enough of Sidraa at Winston Solicitors for her exceptional support throughout my house purchase. From start to finish, she has been absolutely brilliant. Her prompt responses, attention to detail, and professionalism made a stressful process feel manageable and smooth. This is actually the second time I’ve used Winston Solicitors, and once again, they have been great. Consistent, reliable, and professional and Sidraa in particular truly went above and beyond. She was always kind, polite, and incredibly approachable, nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Even when dealing with a particularly difficult chain and the added pressure of a new stamp duty deadline, she worked tirelessly to get everything done on time. She responded to queries even out of hours, always called back when she said she would, and genuinely made me feel like a priority. What really stood out to me was her dedication — despite having preplanned annual leave for Eid, she still tried to keep things moving, which shows how committed she is to her clients. Her communication was clear and consistent, and she made a complex process feel a lot less daunting. I felt fully supported and in safe hands throughout. If you're looking for a solicitor who is professional, caring, and truly exceptional at what she does, Sidraa at Winston Solicitors is the one to go to. I’m incredibly grateful for everything she did and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to others. - April 2025
