<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> is voluntarily recalling 134,100 cars due to a faulty ground terminal in the taillight bulb carriers, causing the sudden failure of brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/recalls-tsbs/">recall</a> covers 2008 through 2010 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/5+series/">5 Series</a> models produced between March 1, 2007 and December 31, 2009, and includes everything from the 528i to the mighty, V10-powered <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/m5/">M5</a>. It's unclear if this recall is limited to sedans or extends to the 5-Series Touring.<br />
<br />
There have been no reported cases of injuries, fatalities or crashes associated with the taillight issue. BMW will be issuing recall notices to affected owners in the coming weeks, asking them to report to dealers so that the bulb carriers on the taillights can be replaced. All repairs are, naturally, free of charge.
