A BMW spokesman told Dow Jones that the other potential problem is with the electronic fuel pump and may affect 15,000 cars produced between last October and April this year. Some cars may suffer from both defects.
BMW estimated it has sold 32,000 of the flagship 7-Series model since it was launched last November.
The report says that BMW does not know how much the recall will cost the company, but will be talking with the suppliers of the parts involved about sharing the costs.
