H BMW ανακαλεί 210.161 X3, X4, X5 και Χ6

14:21 15/6/2016 - Πηγή: AutoBlog

Η BMW ανακοίνωσε την ανάκληση 210.161 X3, X4, X5 και Χ6 στις Η.Π.Α. Τα 188.668 αυτοκίνητα αφορούν τα 2011-2017 X3 και 2015-2017 X4, στα οποία οι ISOFIX υποδοχές για την τοποθέτηση των παιδικών καθισμάτων μπορεί να μην κουμπώνουν σωστά.

Τα 21.493 X5 και Χ6 παραγωγής 2011, ανακαλούνται επειδή υπάρχει πιθανότητα, η τάπα της άρθρωσης του εμπρός ημιαξονίου, λόγω ενός λάθους στη παραγωγή, θα μπορούσε να επιτρέψει την βρωμιά ή και το νερό να μπούνε μέσα στην άρθρωση και να προκαλέσει διάβρωση. Στη χειρότερη περίπτωση,

ο άξονας θα μπορούσε να σταματήσει να στέλνει ισχύ στους εμπρός τροχούς, με την BMW να αντικαθιστά το μπροστά ημιαξόνιο στα επηρεαζόμενα οχήματα.
