After having recalled more than 100-thousand vehicles with faulty engine parts in August, ....BMW Korea is recalling thousands more vehicles over the same defect.<br />Our Choi Si-young reports. <br /><br />BMW Group Korea will voluntarily recall nearly 66-thousand BMWs and MINIs to repair faulty parts... according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on Tuesday.<br />The recall will begin on November 26th... and involve 52 models including MINI Cooper D models and one-eighteen-D compact cars.<br /><br />The transport ministry said... the German carmaker had submitted a recall plan to the ministry on Monday. The recall was prompted by the BMW probe led by transport ministry officials and civilian experts that last month found that the one-eighteen-D models have defective engine parts known as EGR or Exhaust Gas Recirculation but were not part of the previous recall back in August.<br /><br />About 30-thousand vehicles subject to the recall were equipped with the faulty engine parts... but were not recalled back in August... due to a 'low risk' of fire.<br />The German carmaker still maintains that the vehicles subject to the new recall have 'low' fire risk, and that the recall is only 'precautionary.'<br />This year, more than 40 BMW vehicles have burst into flames, and of those cars, more than 10 vehicles were not on the recall list.<br /><br />Choi Si-young, Arirang News.<br />
