BMW Recalls 5-Series Sedan;

BMW has issued a recall for its 5-Series sedan which is one of its most popular models on the market along with luxury models found at a local NC Ford Dealer. The 5-Series can be found at dealerships throughout the nation. Competing models sold by Honda such as Acura models can be found at Jackson Honda Dealers. The 5-Series has a reported problem with its fuel level sensors. About 6,400 cars will be recalled in the United States and 5,000 to 6,000 will be recalled in China. Peoria VW sells luxury models made by Volkswagen that have not been affected by recent recalls.

The latest BMW recalls are new news for the German automaker which has not been in recall news lately. Other manufacturers like Toyota have been in the news for recalls much more due to accelerator and braking problems. The latest BMW recalls do not look to be very serious defects, and BMW will likely still remain the top luxury automaker in the world even after these small number of recalls.

The fuel sensor in the affected 5-Series models can become wedged against the fuel tank. The fuel gauge then displays a higher amount of gas than what is really in the vehicle, which leads to problems with the fuel display. Thus, drivers may run out of fuel or fill their vehicles with not enough fuel due to the improper display.

The BMW 5-Series is one of the most popular luxury vehicles in the world. The 5-Series starts at $44,550 in the United States and is also one of the top luxury models for the United States. The 5-Series is a direct competitor to Mercedes' E-Class model series and the Lexus GS model. The 5-Series has been in high demand for 2010 and BMW has released new expected earnings for 2010 due to the unexpected increased demand for the model for 2010.
