Here's what you need to know about the BMW vehicle recall
GERMAN car manufacturer BMW is recalling over 300,000 of its cars after a BBC Watchdog investigation found 'vehicles could cut out completely while they are being driven'.
From which cars are being recalled to what to do if you have a faulty model - here's what you need to know.
Which vehicles are being recalled?
BMW is recalling 312,000 vehicles including the BMW 1 Series, the 3 Series, the Z4 and its X1 petrol and diesel models made between March 2007 and August 2011.
The company initially recalled 36,410 petrol cars last year over safety issues.
But according to the , BMW said it now recognised there may have been similar problems in cars not covered by the first recall.
Cars were initially recalled in the UK after Narayan Gurung, who was travelling with his wife on Christmas Day in 2016, died when their Ford Fiesta crashed into a tree to avoid a broken-down BMW, which had suffered an electrical fault and caused the brake lights to fail which resulted in the vehicle stalling on a dark A-road.
In a statement to the BBC, BMW said: "We now recognise that there may have been some cases of similar power supply issues in vehicles not covered by the original recall.
"In order to reassure customers with concerns about the safety of their vehicles, we are voluntarily extending the recall.
"We are therefore announcing today that we will take the proactive step of expanding the existing UK recall to cover all vehicles potentially affected by the power supply issue."
What should I do if I have a faulty model?
According to the BBC, BMW said they will contact affected owners directly.
They also said they will open a customers' complaints line.
