BMW will recalling around 176,000 cars powered by four-cylinder 2-liter petrol engines, covering 2012-2014 model years, due to potential issues with the power brakes. The recall includes the 2012-2014 BMW 320i and 328i sedans; 2012 and 2013 BMW 528i sedan; 2013-2014 X1 sDrive28i and X1 xDrive28i vehicles and the 2012-2014 Z4 sDrive28i roadster.
According to a spokesman from BMW AG, the vehicles can lose the power assistance in braking due to insufficient lubrication to a vacuum pump. The driver, however, can still bring the car to a stop in case of a loss of power braking however he will need to use more force on the brake pedal. BMW is set to send notifications to customers in the next few months. This is a good and responsible move by BMW to address an issue with their cars to keep their owners safe.
