BMW Ireland Responds After Local Driver Receives Recall Notice Following Motorway Car Fire

The luxury car company said they "understand that events like this can be distressing".

BMW Ireland said they take reports of any incident involving its vehicles "very seriously".

That's after Kfm revealed how a local received a recall letter after their BMW went on fire on a busy motorway.

The luxury car company said they "understand that events like this can be distressing".

They have encouraged customers who receive any recall letter to follow the instructions, or if they have any doubts to contact their local BMW service centre.
 
"Vehicle fires are rare but have many possible causes including external factors and individual cases must be thoroughly investigated," the spokesperson said.

Yesterday, in an unrelated incident, a BMW burst into flames outside a coffee shop in Kilcullen.
