BMW is recalling 26,000 cars in the UK and 1,200 Rolls-Royces due to a braking problem, it has been announced.
The recall involves BMW 5, 6 and 7 Series vehicles powered by V8 and V12 engines from the 2002-2010 model years and some Rolls-Royce Phantom cars from the 2003-2010 model years.
The problem involves leaks which could develop in the power braking system, leading to vacuum loss and a reduction in power braking assistance.
Mechanical braking is still available to slow and stop the vehicle, BMW said.
A spokesman added: "We are writing to all the owners involved asking them to arrange a service appointment.
"There have not been any accidents or injuries."
