 BMW recalls 1.3 million 5-series and 6-series vehicles worldwide recalled from model year 2003-2010

BMW AG is recalling 1.3 million 5- and 6-series cars from the 2003 to 2010 model years.

The company says that in rare cases a battery cable covering in the trunk was incorrectly installed.

The defect could prevent the car from starting and in extreme cases could lead to a fire. BMW says it knows of no accidents or injuries from the defect.

The recalls will be undertaken by dealers and are expected to take between half an hour and an hour. There will be no charge.

The numbers for the recall are pretty vast, though; 109,000 vehicles in the UK, 102,000 in China, 283,000 in Germany and 368,000 in the US.

BMW has also recently announced a rash of recalls of the German automaker's BMW, Mini, and Rolls-Royce divisions over water pump problems.
