BMW’s 2004-2010 5 and 6 and 2002-2008 7 series models are included as are Phantom sedans made between 2003 and 2010. Some convertible and coupe Rolls-Royce models from 2007 to 2010 are also affected.
The US government’s NHTSA regulatory body said a check valve in the brake vacuum pump could leak a small amount of oil which, over time, could contaminate the brake booster and affect power assisted braking performance and, in extreme cases, cause a complete loss of assistance.
There have been no reports of injuries or deaths as a result of the problem.
