- EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS; TIRES
- Problem
- BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain X7 xDrive40i and M50i vehicles. The tire information labels may contain tire size and cold tire inflation pressure information that does not match the specific tires that were installed on these vehicles. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- Risk
- The vehicle operator may be confused by the tire information on the label and this could lead to the installation of an inappropriate size tire and/or inflation pressure, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tire information label, free of charge. The recall began October 26, 2020. 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
The tire information label on certain vehicles may show a tire size and cold inflation pressure that do not match the tires actually installed. A driver relying on the label could fit an incorrect tire size or inflate tires to the wrong pressure. That confusion could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix is free. Dealers will replace the tire information label at no cost to you, and BMW will notify affected owners. To confirm whether your vehicle is covered, contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 or check your VIN for open recalls. If you have a recall notice, bring it to an authorized BMW dealer for the label replacement.
