The quality of automobiles has always been criticized by consumers. The BMW recalled a large-scale recall because the vehicles had major safety hazards, which may cause fire. Faced with BMW's ever-larger recall scale, consumers have to question the quality and safety of BMW products.

BMW Motors announced on the 27th that it had recalled 1.3 million BMW vehicles globally due to circuit failures in automobiles. Among the models involving the Chinese market were imported and domestic BMW 5 Series sedan, imported BMW 6 Series Coupé, imported BMW 6 Series Convertible. In the coupe, the Chinese market recalled a total of 120,246 vehicles.

As a large-scale consumer goods vehicle, its quality problems have plagued consumers for a long time, even if the international well-known car brands also have problems. In February this year, there were several recalls of famous brands. February 8 Ferrari recalled some imported Maserati cars, February 27 Porsche recalled some imported Porsche Cayenne series cars, February 27 Nissan recalled some imported Infiniti QX56 cars, and on March 12 General Motors recalled Andhra and Captiva cars. .

Major safety hazards have been hidden for eight years. The public information reveals that the recall involves the Chinese market in some imported and domestic BMW cars produced from 2003 to 2010, and the time spans 8 years. Some consumers questioned why such a major security risk could have been lurking for 8 years.

A spokesperson for BMW said that this was the largest recall of the company’s “most recent history”.

BMW said that the recall was due to problems with the installation of the plastic sleeve of the positive wire of the battery in the luggage compartment. In rare cases, it may cause the connection to loosen and cause the vehicle to fail to start, or cause the contact resistance to increase and cause overheating. Local ablation, in extreme cases, may cause the vehicle to catch fire and present a safety hazard.

Whether the “Most Trustworthy Brand” can maintain the number of BMW recalls such as snowballs getting bigger and bigger, from June 25, 2010, BMW China recalled 1694 vehicles because the engine could not be started, and in October of the same year, BMW’s brake system appeared. Seriously, the number of global recalls reached 358,800, and today it has recalled 1.3 million vehicles worldwide. Is the scale of the recall increasing more and more strong, or is it the plummeting quality of BMW?

The challenge to BMW's integrity is not only this. In February of this year, BMW North America Branch did not promptly announce vehicle defects and delayed the recall of vehicles in 2010. It received US$3 million in high-priced tickets issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the United States.
