    Seeehr pragmatisch. :thumbup: Die Jungs könnens! In D hätte ein Hersteller 20 Jahre prozessiert.


    "Pursuant to the Consent Order, BMW NA has agreed to make a $10 million cash payment to NHTSA and to spend $10 million on enhancing internal processes and technologies to more rapidly detect emerging safety-related issues and developing increased measures to maximize recall completion rates. An additional $20 million shall be in the form of a deferred amount and held in abeyance, pending BMW NA’s satisfactory completion of the obligations in the Consent Order."

    Es habe Mängel bei einer Rückrufaktion der Marke Mini gegeben und der deutsche Premiumautohersteller habe keine korrekten Informationen veröffentlicht, kritisiert die NHTSA am Montag. Insgesamt muss die BMW AG nun eine Strafe von bis zu 40 Millionen US-Dollar zahlen.

    Konkret geht es anscheinend um den Seitenaufprallschutz welcher nicht den Vorschriften entsprach.
