2010 MINI COOPER Recall

Campaign:
09V474000 on 12/14/2009
Component:
Equipment:other:labels
Manufactured:
08/18/2009 - 10/08/2009
Affected:
205
Defect:
Bmw is recalling certain model year 2010 mini cooper and cooper s vehicles for failing comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims." the affected vehicles were equipped with 17 inch wheels, but their label states that they were equipped with 16 inch wheels. also the tire pressure stated on the label for the cooper s is incorrect.
Consequence:
Erroneous tire information could lead to improper tire fitment and inflation which could affect the durability of the tire and the stability of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will mail to consumers the corrected label or the customer will have the option for dealers to install the label free of charge. the recall began on march 4, 2010. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
