CarRecallWatch- Component
- EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS; TIRES
- Problem
- BMW North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2017 BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M vehicles. The vehicles are equipped with 21-inch tires, however the Tire Information Label states that the vehicles are equipped with 20-inch tires. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- Risk
- The incorrect tire size on the label does not comply with FMVSS number 110.
- Remedy
- BMW has notified the affected owners and is providing them with a corrected tire information placard, free of charge. The recall began June 15, 2017. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2017 BMW vehicles were built with 21-inch tires, but the Tire Information Label lists 20-inch tires. The label does not match the tires actually fitted, so the vehicles do not meet federal tire selection and rim labeling requirements.
The risk is that the label gives incorrect tire information. The notice describes this as a labeling nonconformance rather than a tire failure, so it does not indicate a defect in the tires themselves.
If your vehicle is affected, BMW has notified owners and will provide a corrected tire information placard at no cost. You can contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. Check your VIN for any open recalls at NHTSA.gov or with your authorized BMW dealer.
