## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain X7 xDrive40i and M50i vehicles.  The tire information labels may contain tire size and cold tire inflation pressure information that does not match the specific tires that were installed on these vehicles.  As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."


## What can happen

The vehicle operator may be confused by the tire information on the label and this could lead to the installation of an inappropriate size tire and/or inflation pressure, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tire information label, free of charge.  The recall began October 26, 2020.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
