BMW Recalls 1 Series ActiveE For "Immobility" Issues

BMW is recalling vehicles in its test fleet of 1 Series all-electric cars designed to “help define the future of mobility” because of a possible immobility problem, the automaker has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The 1 Series ActiveE models were part of what BMW described as a field test program in which it leased the vehicles to consumers in markets on the East Coast and in California.

The vehicles were leased for two years starting in January 2012, but could not be bought when the lease was over. The automaker said it didn’t intend to produce the 1 Series ActiveE, but wanted to learn more about how the powertrain performed for use in the future.

Hmmm.. we post a recall on other brands and scads of comments on how we are unfairly picking on them.

Do the same for BMW and all I hear are crickets.
