BMW recalls nearly 37,000 vehicles in the U.S. over steering issue

Investing.com -- BMW of North America, LLC is recalling 36,922 vehicles in the United States due to a steering wheel defect, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The recall was initiated because of potential unintended steering wheel movement that could occur while vehicles are stationary, which increases the risk of injury. The same issue could lead to a crash when the vehicle is being driven on the road, the NHTSA said.

The safety regulator did not provide specific details about which BMW models are affected by the recall or when the company plans to begin notifying vehicle owners.
