BMW is recalling more than 134,000 5 Series vehicles in the United States due to possible taillights failure.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall affects 528i, 535i, 550i and M5 models built between March 1, 2007 and December 31, 2009 and sold for the 2008 through 2010 model years.
The agency reports that increased electrical resistance can damage connections to the light, which can cause the vehicle's tail, brake or turn-signals to stop working properly and increase the risk of a crash. If such problem occurs, drivers will be notified via the car's visual and audible warning systems.
BMW says there are no reports of accidents and injuries related to this problem, but will notifiy owners starting next month. US dealers will repair all affected cars free of charge. For more info, owners may contact the German automaker at 1-800-525-7417.
