Reported Apr 3, 19955,200 vehicles affectedBAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKEBuilt Jan 1, 1994 – Mar 1, 1995

The defect

An overstatement was made of the vehicle load capacity and designated seating capacity on the tire information placard. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 110, "tire selection and rims."

The risk

Consequence of non-compliance: loading of the vehicle beyond the capacity weight can cause tire and vehicle damage that can result in a vehicle crash.

The remedy

Owners will be mailed a revised placard containg the correct vehicle and designated seating capacities and instructions for installing the placard on their vehicles. If owners prefer, their dealer can install the placard for them.
