BMW Group Korea, the local distributor of German automaker BMW AG, is voluntarily recalling certain model year X5 and X6 sport utility vehicles for a problem with a bolt that can cause loss of power-assisted steering, the Transportation Ministry said Monday.

The recall affects 1,579 X5 SUVs produced between Dec. 11, 2006 and Feb. 19, 2010, along with 616 units of X6 SUVs built from April 3, 2008 through Feb. 22, 2010, according to the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs.

The ministry said the bolt holding a fan-belt pulley can loosen and break, which, if happens, could cause the loss of power-assisted steering and thus increase the risk of an accident.

Free repair services will be available from later Monday at all service centers of BMW Group Korea, it said. (Yonhap News)
