The biggest recall was the massive one by Fisher Price, which involved over ten million children’s toys in the US. There are around 7 million Trikes and Tough Trikes affected in the recall, and 950,000 high chairs that include Close to Me, Healthy Care, and Clean chairs.

A couple of days ago we told you about BMW who are recalling over 350,000 cars due to a braking problem. The models affected included the popular series 5, 6, and 7 cars with V8 and V12 engines, and the BMW Rolls Royce made between July 2001 and November 2009.

We have also told about South Korea’s largest car manufacturer Hyundai recalling about 140,000 Sonata models due to a problem with a faulty steering column.

Have you been affected by any of these recalls?

They are recalling over 350,000 of their vehicles due to a braking problem.

Courtesy of this report by USPostToday, we now have a complete list of the models affected by this particular recall. They include the BMW 5, 6 and 7 ranges with V8 and V12 engine cars, and also the luxurious BMW Rolls Royce produced between July 2001 and November 2009.

Although the models listed above are not deemed ‘unsafe’, BMW has issued this recall because of a fault with the power-braking system. It is important to note that the mechanical braking system in these models can still slow and stop the vehicle as normal.

Do you own a BMW model listed above in the US or UK? If so, let us know your thoughts on this.
