Component
TIRES
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
Your X6 or X5 has Pirelli tires that could have a damaged inner layer, which means they might lose air pressure quickly while you're driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If the tire pressure drops suddenly, your vehicle could become harder to control, increasing the risk of a crash, especially if you're driving at high speeds.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the defective tires with new ones, completely free of charge. You've likely already been contacted by BMW to schedule the replacement, but if you haven't, you can reach them at 1-800-525-7417.
