BMW recalls 350,800 cars due to brake problems - Its becoming a fashion now

FRANKFURT: German luxury automaker BMW said Friday it was recalling 350,800 BMW and Rolls-Royce vehicles worldwide owing to brake problems that a spokesman stressed were "without danger."

In the United States, BMW has recalled 198,000 vehicles but the problem was "without danger" for passengers, the spokesman said.

The problem concerned braking systems that could become "slightly more difficult to use" following an extended period of operation, he added.

In Britain, a BMW spokesman told AFP: "It's a voluntary recall, we took it upon ourselves. It affects large-engined 5, 6 and 7-series (BMWs) and Rolls Royce" cars.
