Dishwasher recall could cost Bosch-Siemens €700m
In an announcement published on its website in August, the household appliances group said dishwashers manufactured between 1999 and 2005 and branded Bosch, Siemens, Neff, Constructa and Junker+Ruh ran the risk of overheating and catching fire because of a faulty electrical part.
The recall affects at least 5m dishwashers worldwide.
According to Focus magazine, a BSH official said during an internal crisis meeting in Munich several weeks ago that the recall could cost the joint venture up to €700m.
In 2009, 500,000 BSH dishwashers suffering from the same malfunction were recalled in the United States, where 51 incidents and 30 fires were recorded.
In Germany alone, BSH has recorded a total of 69 dishwasher incidents involving overheating.
