Nothing seems to be as surprising to the consumers any longer as the way auto recalls are announced this year. The latest on the recall anvil are the luxury cars by the automaker Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) and Rolls-Royce luxury cars built by Rolls-Royce in Britain. The BMW recalls around 354,000 BMW cars and Rolls-Royce luxury cars worldwide.

Last year BMW, the world\u2019s largest luxury automaker sold 1,068,770 BMW's and 1,002 Rolls-Royce's worldwide. Now 348,000 BMW and 5,800 Roll-Royce limousines are being recalled globally.

BMW is the world's leading premium automobile manufacturer and the US market is its biggest, after Germany.

The German luxury automaker BMW said on October 1st that it was recalling 350,800 BMW and Rolls-Royce vehicles worldwide because of brake problems that a spokesman assured were not so dangerous. The recall is to fix an issue in the power-braking system.

Other luxury car makers who had issued recalls in recent months are as the following:

* General Motors (GM) announced a recall in late September for their 20,000 Cadillac CTS models, to address injury ...
... concerns to shorter people who did not wear seat belts and for glove compartment issues
* GM recalled more than 160,000 Hummers in the month of May for a defect that could cause part of the hood to blow off while the vehicle was on the road
* The Italian automaker Ferrari in September had recalled all of its model 458 Italia sports cars manufactured before July 2010. This recall was announced after the reports came in of four of the Italia cars that caught fire. The 458 Italia recall affected 1,248 vehicles, worldwide
* The Japanese auto giant Toyota this year recalled around 10 million of its cars worldwide because of the accelerator pedal problems that reportedly caused unintended acceleration in the vehicle and fatalities on the road
* In mid-May BMW recalled 122,000 motorcycles around the world because of potential problems with the brakes

Though the percentage of the cars recalled by the BMW for the braking system problem is small the recall is instituted as part of a good will by a responsible manufacturer. Despite the recall of a whopping 5,800 Rolls-Royce cars, BMW/Rolls are hopeful that this would not mar their image in the market.
