WHEELS Safety Recalls

High Priority #00V383000 Plain English
Component

WHEELS:RIM

Manufacturer
BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE
What Happened
The wheel rim on your vehicle is the part that holds the tire in place. Unfortunately, a mistake at the factory may have damaged the rim flange, which can lead to air leaking out of the tire.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rim is damaged, you could notice a sudden loss of air pressure in the tire while driving, affecting your vehicle's handling and control. This could make it harder to steer or brake, especially at high speeds.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect your vehicle's wheels to check for damage. If they find any issues, they'll replace all five wheels with new ones at no cost to you.
