BMW is withdrawing more than 61,000 cars due to a software error

The German company BMW has withdrawn more than 61,000 cars worldwide due to a software error, DPA reported.

A spokesman for the carmaker said affected customers would receive a message asking them to take their vehicles to a licensed service center, where the software would be reprogrammed.

Defective software can lead to loss of torque and failure of the car’s engine. However, so far no incidents of material damage or injuries have been registered.

The problem affects the Ex 3 (X3), Ex 4 (X4) and Ex 5 (X5) models produced between 2016 and 2022, according to the Federal Road Transport Administration of Germany (Kraftfahrt- Bundesamt).
