JUNE 2010 --
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-inchwheels, but the label
states that the vehicles were equipped with 19-inch wheels and the stated
tirepressure 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. 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 manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with
a notification schedule. 10V-233
JULY 2009 --
BMW is
recalling MY 2009 X5 and X6
vehicles. The rear brake
discs may not have been
manufactured according to
specifications. As a result,
a reduction in braking
performance at the affected
rear wheel could occur. In
an extreme case, the
affected rear brake disc
could break resulting in a
loss of braking at that
wheel increasing stopping
distances and the risk of a
crash. BMW will notify
owners and will repair the
vehicles by inspecting the
rear brake discs and, if
necessary, replace them free
of charge. The safety recall
is expected to begin during
August 2009. 09V-255
