TIRES - I HAVE 1,500 MILES OR SO ON THEM (NEW). THEY WAS INSTALLED BY THEM BMW DEALERSHIP AS I WAS PURCHASING THE CAR. I HAD THE CARS SHIPPED HERE TO MD. DRIVING THE CAR LOCALLY AFTER SITTING IN THE GARAGE, IT STARTED TO MAKE A TERRIBLE NOISE ABOVE 40 MPH AND WOULD GET WORSE UP TO 60 MPH THAT'S AS FAST AS I WOULD GO. THE LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP NOTED IT ONE OF THE (LEFT REAR TIRE)S INSTALLED. HAS AN 8-INCH BUBBLE ON THE INSIDE. THEY WANTED TO REPLACE IT COSTING ME $486. TO REPLACE THE TIRE. 1500 MILES TO A NEW TIRE? NO.... THIS IS A DEFECTIVE TIRE. LOOKING ON LINE THERE'S MANY / SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME MANNER ABOUT THE TIRES. THIS CAR HAS NEVER HIT A POTHOLE OR SEEN A ROUGH ROAD WITH THE TIRES. THE CAR IS VERY CAREFULLY DRIVEN AROUND. I CONTACTED MR. TIRE WHO QUICKLY SAID ON THE PHONE NO MATTER HOW CAREFUL YOU DRIVE YOU MUST OF HIT A POTHOLE. NO WANTING TO VISUALLY INSPECT THE TIRE STATING, IT HAPPENS TO THE TIRE REGULAR. THATS WHAT'S PUSHING ME TO CONTACT NHTSA FOR A REVIEW. I STRONGLY FEEL ITS AN UNSAFE TIRE IF IT DOES THIS IN THE MANNER THAT I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR. IF THIS TIRE IS TREATED THIS DELICATE THAN I AM VERY MUCH CONCERNED FOR DAILY DRIVER SAFETY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. 02418582WR2 TIRE SIZE 255/30/19 DOT CE W# L250 0415 PZERO PIRELLI RUN FLAT

20V017000 · Air Bags:frontal:driver Side:inflator Module

Jan 15, 2020

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2008-2013 128i and 135i Convertibles, 128i, 135i, and M Coupes, 2007-2010 X3 30si and X3 xDrive30i, 2013-2015 X1 sDrive28i, X1 xDrive28i and X1 xDrive35i, 2007-2013 328i, 328i xDrive, 335i, 335is, 335i xDrive and M3 Coupes, 2006-2011 328i, 328xi, 328i xDrive, 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi, 335i, 335xi, 335i xDrive and M3, 2009-2011 335D, 2006-2012 325xi, 328i, 328xi and 328i xDrive, 2010-2011 X6 ActiveHybrid, 2007-2013 328i, 335i, 335is, M3 Coupes, X5 30si, X5 xDrive30i, X5 xDrive35i, X5 48i, X5 xDrive48i, X5 xDrive50i and X5 M, 2009-2013 X5 xDrive35d and 2008-2014 X6 xDrive35i, X6 xDrive50i and X6M vehicles equipped with non-desiccated driver frontal air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy: BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver air bag. On X5 and X6 vehicles, only the inflator will be replaced. All repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began March 11, 2020. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Oct 25, 2017
