BMW’s recall of nearly 200,000 luxury vehicles in the US to fix a power braking problem may extend to another 150,000 cars of the same series around the globe, a spokesman said today.

Globally, some 345,000 BMWs of the 5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series vehicles powered by V8 and V12 engines and almost 6,000 Rolls Royce Phantom models could be affected by the problem, BMW AG spokesman Frank Strebe said.
