BMW USA has announced that it will recall as many as 154,000 vehicles due to an issue with the cars’ fuel pumps. According to Consumer Affairs, the cars’ loose wiring within the fuel pumps could cause a connector to melt over time, causing fuel to leak and possible vehicle stalling – a combination which can potentially lead to crashes. The recalled vehicles were manufactured between 2007 and 2012 and span 26 different models.

This marks third recall for the German auto manufacturer this year, following a June recall of its X3 and X4 SUVs due to faulty child seat anchors and a February recall connected to the enormous Takata airbag recall. For more information on this recall, click here.
