BMW will pay $3 million in fine to federal government

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported that BMW, German automaker, has to pay $3 million in fine to the federal government.

This fine has come to the company as the company has not told about the safety defects earlier than due time.

“It’s critical to the safety of the driving public that defects and recalls are reported in short order,” said NHTSA Administrator David Strickland. “NHTSA expects all manufacturers to address automotive safety issues quickly and in a forthright manner.”

NHTSA further said, "As part of today's settlement, BMW of North America, LLC and its parent company Bayerische Motoren Werke AG agreed to make internal changes to its recall decision-making process to ensure timely reporting to consumers and the federal government in the future."
