BMW introduced new generation M5 last year globally and the new model is still not yet available across most of the countries as the German manufacturer is taking its own sweet time to launch it in all the markets as it is one of the popular sports sedans in the world. BMW has officially announced a recall of new generation M5.
The problem with new M5 is that during certain driving conditions, the engine control software may stop the fuel pump, which in turn stall the car and depending on the situation it will be very dangerous. But the solution is a simple software update for the engine control system and the M5 will work flawlessly.
