BMW is recalling 232,000 vehicles brought into China, and made in the country as they may have faulty screws Reuters reported Wednesday.
"We are reviewing the situation for other markets," a BMW spokesman told Reuters.
The vehicles in question include the BMW 1-series, 3-series, 5-series 6-series, and X1, X3, X5, X6 and Z4 off-road vehicles.
Ninety-three thousand vehicles are of the 3-series, and 5-series models made in China in collaboration with Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Reuters reported.
The car company will look to see where the screws are located on the vehicles' petrol engines, which have six cylinders since they can snap, and initiate an oil leak according to the spokesman Reuters reported. The parts were made sometime from June 2009 to June 2013.
The vehicles' VANOS valve timing system screws are also on the list to investigate whether they can separate from the part.
This is due to the amount of oil that can come out of the vehicle if the screw comes undone prompting a light to come on.
Drivers should then bring their vehicle to an enclosed space for a recommended four hours so the conditions don't harm the engine.
This should be done for a recommended four hours according to BMW Reuters reported.
Work is expected to begin in June, according to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine who told BMW the recall was needed Reuters reported.
BMW pulled back 176,000 vehicles made from 2012 to 2014 in October because of another issue with the vehicles breaks NBC News reported at the time. The recall included 76,200 cars people purchased in the United States NBC News reported.
