2021 BMW X7 Recalled for Incorrect Tire Information Labels

BMW is recalling 2021 X7 models for tire information labels with incorrect specifications. The labels may not match the actually installed tires, potentially causing drivers to select wrong tires.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is a precautionary labeling error with no reported injuries or deaths. While incorrect tire information could theoretically lead to unsafe tire installation, the straightforward label replacement fix fits the Moderate classification for minor labeling errors.

Plain-English summary

BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2021 BMW X7 models (xDrive40i and M50i) due to tire information labels that contain incorrect specifications. The labels display tire size and cold tire inflation pressure information that does not match the tires actually installed on these vehicles.

These vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, which requires proper tire selection and rims information. Incorrect tire information on the label can confuse drivers, potentially leading them to install tires of inappropriate size or inflation pressure, which increases crash risk.

Approximately 397 vehicles are affected by this recall. BMW dealers will replace the tire information label free of charge. Owners should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 to schedule service. For additional information, owners can contact NHTSA's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
