According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, BMW has just announced a recall for the new 2010 X5 and X6 cars.

The recall is only in affect for the vehicles that were made between December 14, 2009 and December 16, 2009.  This is due to the fact that the upper right section of the windshield may have insufficient bonding.  In the event that an accident involving a rollover may occur, there could be a negative impact on the roof stability, which could greatly increase the passengers’ risk of injury.

BMW hasn’t yet provided a way to fix this problem, or a schedule for owner notification of this recall.  However, this recall likely only affects a small number of cars.  For more information, owners can call BMW at 1-800-831-1117 or the NHTSA car safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236.

Unfortunately, you never know when recalls or car repairs will come up.  This is why an auto warranty is essential.  New car warranties will bring you peace of mind in the long run.
