German carmaker BMW is recalling about 720,000 vehicles, mostly in North America, over potential electrical problems that may cause unexpected stalling.

 

The recall affects various versions of its 1-Series and 3-Series cars, as well as the Z4 sports car.

 

The firm is recalling some 505,000 cars in the US, 65,000 in Canada, 100,000 in Japan and 50,000 in South Africa.
