What This Recall Means

Component

TIRES:SIDEWALL

What Happened
The sidewall of your vehicle's tires is a critical part that helps maintain air pressure. Unfortunately, the machine used to install your 18-inch tires may have damaged the sidewall, making it weak and prone to sudden air loss.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens while you're driving, the tire could fail suddenly, causing your vehicle to lose control and making it harder to steer. This could significantly increase the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will inspect the tires and replace any damaged ones at no cost to you. If you haven't received the repair within a reasonable time, contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
