What's wrong, in plain English

The tire information label on some BMW X4 SUVs may show the wrong tire size and air pressure numbers. This means the label does not meet a federal safety standard for tire labeling. If someone relies on the incorrect information, the wrong-size tires could be installed, or the tires could end up improperly inflated. Either of these increases the risk of a crash.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a BMW dealer, or call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
3. The repair (a replacement label) is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 21V646000.
