What Do A Rolls-Royce Ghost And BMW 5-Series Have In Common? More Than You'd Think!

Apparently the BMW 5-Series and Rolls-Royce Ghost have a lot in common. Take, for example, the latest recall including both products.

Though there is separate documentation reporting a recall for Rolls-Royce and BMW, the issue remains the same. A circuit board for the electric, auxiliary water pump can possibly overheat and lead to a smoldering of a pump, engine compartment or vehicle fire.

Obviously, that's not good news.

Reports have said that 69 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghosts and over 2,800 BMW 2011 5-Series, 5-Series Gran Turismos, 2012 6-Series Convertibles, 2012 7-Series, 2012 X5s and 2012 X6s with V8s and V12s have been recalled.

As expected, the pumps will be replaced at no cost to owners.

Be safe out there, Spies!

So a "circuit board" is a lot more than we'd think?

Man this site is going wayyy downhill.

Yes, they also have four wheels, four doors, a windshield, some metal, glass, wood, carpeting, exhaust, leather, need I say more? lol

This is the most non-sense title. They are owned by the same company, of course they will use some parts in common...

What a cute, cheeky, fun headline for such a serious issue. BMWSpies strikes again.
