South Korea bans driving BMWs under recall due to fires

[Litlos]

Was reading this in an Australian online news source.  Does not worry me, but there are a few people with BWM's and I can imagine the Thai end of BMW may be a bit slow to notify users.

Extract from article"BMW last month recalled about 106,000 vehicles of 42 different models. The company has identified the cause of the engine fires as leaks of glycol coolant in their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers. Combined with carbon and oil sediment the leeks could combust and cause fires when the vehicles were driven at high speeds for long periods of time. Such fires can occur only when the vehicles are being driven."
