Recalls: BMW, Honda, Subaru and Volkswagen vehicles
A few recalls have been announced recently that affect the BMW X5 and X6, Honda Accord and Civic, Subaru Baja, and Volkswagen Touareg models. If your vehicle is listed here, the manufacturer will contact you with information about what to do, or you can use one of the numbers we list below to contact the manufacturer yourself.
2009 BMW X5/X6
BMW is recalling all 2009 X5 and X6 vehicles because the rear brake discs may not have been made according to proper specs. The problem can result in reduced braking performance and larger stopping distances, which could increase the risk of a crash.
The manufacturer has not yet announced a remedy or notification schedule. Owners can contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
2001 Honda Accord and Civic
Honda is recalling all 2001 Accord and Civic vehicles due to a problem with the airbag inflator, which could produce excessive internal pressure and may cause it to rupture when deployed. Metal pieces could go through the airbag and cause injury.
Dealers will replace the airbag inflator free of charge. Owners can call Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
2005-2006 Subaru Baja
Subaru is recalling over 15,000 Baja pickups due to a cracking problem with the fuel hose connection on the outlet pressure side of the fuel pump. Fuel could leak from the hose connection and cause a fire.
Dealers will replace the fuel pump bracket free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in September. Owners may contact Subaru at 1-800-782-2783.
2007-2009 Volkswagen Touareg
Volkswagen is recalling over 14,000 Touareg SUVs due to a problem with fasteners on the roof edge spoiler. The struts could crack and possibly cause the spoiler to become loose and detach from the vehicle. This could result in a crash or injury to people outside the vehicle.
Dealers will install wedges to reinforce the spoiler to the roof free of charge. Owners may contact Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.

All the sensors must be exactly correct, at all times - but the rear discs
DSC etc need good brakes
