Recall Round-Up June 20
June 20 Automotive Recalls:
BMW:
If you own a 2012 diesel X5 or a 2013 X5 or X6, your car may be under recall with BMW for a leaking power steering pump. The pump may leak power steering fluid potentially causing a fire if the fluid sprays on to hot engine parts. This recall is the result of an NHTSA investigation for a "machining error" in the steering gear surface.
BMW will begin to notify affected owners in July. These cars will be inspected and defective parts will be replaced if necessary.
For more information, contact BMW North America at 1-800-525-7417.
Honda:
Honda is recalling
more than 50,000 new 2012 Civic sedans for improperly installed
driveshafts. The driveshaft can separate and cause the Civic to fail to
shift into any gear. Additionally, manual Civic are subject to roll away
if the parking brake is not engaged.
This is the second
recall for the 2012 Civic. The last recall was for leaky fuel lines due
to "misplaced O-rings" during production.
Starting tomorrow
(June 21), Honda will begin to notify all affected owners to bring their
Civic in. If necessary, Honda will replace the driveshaft.
For more information, please contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 with recall number S40.

Affected owners
will be contacted in August. Following an inspection, Mercedes Benz will
replace the level control connecting rod for free.
