NHTSA recall 15V034000
Equipment · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with an incorrect maximum capacity weight stated on the tire information placard. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 110, "tire selection and rims and motor home/recreation vehicle trailer load carrying capacity information for motor vehicles with a gvwr of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less."
Why it matters: The maximum weight listed on the label is incorrect (too low) and therefore does not comply with federal regulations.
The fix: Mini will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect labels with corrected labels, free of charge. Owners were mailed interim notification on March 18, 2015. The recall began on October 15, 2015.
