2011 BMW X5 & 2011 BMW X6 recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

BMW is recalling certain model year 2011 X5 sav and X6 sav passenger vehicles manufactured from april 1 through may 8, 2010. The tire label does not conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims." the vehicles are equipped with 20-INCH wheels, but the label states that the vehicles were equipped with 19-INCH wheels and the stated tire pressure is incorrect for the equipped wheels.

Improper tire inflation CAN result in premature tire failure or reduced vehicle handling performance, either of which CAN increase the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

BMW will notify owners and provide correct labels free of charge. The owner will have the option to affix the label themselves or they may take their vehicle to a BMW dealer who will affix the label for them at no cost. The safety recall began on october 8, 2010. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
