The recall is for model years 2002-2005 of the 325i, 325xi, 330i and 330xi cars, the German automaker said today in a posting on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Web site.
Lights including tail, brake and turn signals may only work intermittently on the cars, BMW told the auto-safety regulator. This “reduces the ability to warn other motorists of the driver’s intentions” and “could cause a vehicle to crash without warning,” the company said.
BMW yesterday recalled 120,000 diesel cars worldwide because of a defect that could cause filter heaters to keep running after engines are turned off and cause a fire. Mathias Schmidt, a BMW spokesman, didn’t immediately respond to a phone call seeking comment.
