Recall 2001301

The issue

Certain 740ILA, 750IL and M5 vehicles equipped with 18-inch tires. (18-inch tires are standard equipment on the M5 and optional equipment on the 7-series models). The machine used to mount and inflate the tires on the wheels at the assembly plant may have damaged the sidewall of one or more tires. The damaged area could weaken to the point where a sudden loss of air from the tire could occur. Handling and control would be drastically affected increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: dealers will inspect the tires and if damage from the mounting machine is found, the tire will be replaced.

Description (français)

Vise certaines BMW 740ILA, 750IL et M5 dotées de pneus de 18 po (les pneus de 18 po sont livrés en série sur le modèle M5 et en option sur les modèles de la série 7). La machine utilisée pour monter et gonfler les pneus à l'usine de montage peut avoir endommagé le flanc d'un ou de plusieurs pneus. L'endroit endommagé peut faiblir à tel point qu'une fuite d'air subite peut se produire, ce qui pourrait nuire à la conduite du véhicule et causer un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter les pneus et remplacer ceux qui sont endommagés.
