Tocmai am aflat ca cei de la BMW au emis o rechemare a unor modele BMW Z4 2009, ambele variante: sDrive35i si sDrive30i. Anuntul de rechemare nu precizeaza cate vehiculele s-au rechemat, dar se mentioneaza motivul: un defect de conectare a cablului de tensionare a centurii de siguranta.

Conectorul defect poate duce la cresterea rezistentei electrice a conexiunii si ar putea ca centura de siguranta sa nu se tensioneze in caz de accident.

O rechemare similara a fost emisa in ultima luna pentru unele modele Seria 1 si Seria 3 de 2008. Pentru mai multe informatii cu privire la rechemare, va rugam sa vedeti textul de mai jos:
