BMW recalls 16 lakh cars over exhaust system fire risk
German carmaker BMW is recalling 16 lakh diesel cars worldwide to fix a problem with the exhaust system that "in extreme cases can cause a fire". BMW said that cooling fluid can leak from a faulty component called the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler which can lead to sparks while driving. The vehicles affected were produced between 2010 and 2017.
