3. BMW's more than 700,000 hot-selling models announced a recall
BMW Brilliance Automotive Co., Ltd. and BMW (China) Automotive Trading Co., Ltd. announced that they will recall nearly 700,000 vehicles from March 1, 2025, in accordance with the Regulations on the Recall of Defective Automobile Products and related regulations.
The recall involves multiple series manufactured between 2011 and 2019, including the domestically produced 3 Series, 5 Series, and X1, as well as imported 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, X1, X3, X4, X5, X6, and Z4 models. The reason for the recall is that the 400-watt electric coolant pump plug in these vehicles may have a design issue that results in a poor seal and is susceptible to foreign liquids.
This can lead to corrosion or rust inside the plug, which can lead to an internal short circuit and, in extreme cases, an increased risk of fire in the vehicle. To address this safety hazard, the companies will inspect the electric coolant pump plug and its connection free of charge for vehicles covered by the recall and replace them if necessary. At the same time, a protective cover is added to the plug connector to prevent liquid erosion.

According to the information released by the official account of "Hangzhou Traffic Police", starting from October 29, 2024, Hangzhou will introduce a new licensing authority code "Zhejiang M" for small cars (excluding new energy vehicles).
Blue plate small cars that are registered or transferred in Hangzhou can choose "Zhejiang A" or the new "Zhejiang M" license plate. The "Zhejiang M" license plate will continue to use the original combination, that is, the 2nd and 5th digits or the 3rd and 4th digits are the combination of letters.
Other types of vehicles such as new energy vehicles (green plates), large and medium-sized vehicles (yellow plates), motorcycles and trailers will continue to use the "Zhejiang A" license plate. The official reminds the public that the issuance and selection of license plates are carried out in the national unified number selection system, and everyone has equal opportunities. Any promise that you can "choose a beautiful number" is a fraud, and the public should avoid being gullible to avoid unnecessary property damage.
As for why the new number segment is being activated, the official explanation is that as the number of motor vehicles in Hangzhou reaches 4.66 million, the resources of the "Zhejiang A" section are gradually decreasing. In order to better meet the public's demand for licensing, with the approval of the traffic management department of the higher public security organ, Hangzhou decided to use the new "Zhejiang M" section.
