What's wrong?
The rim on the 2023 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is the metal wheel that holds the tire and bolts to the hub. On this car, the approved rim also has to match the body shape and aerodynamic testing for each driving mode, including Top Speed Mode.
The affected Bugatti was built with Chiron Sport Leichtbaurad BBS rims. Those rims were not validated for the Chiron Super Sport. Bugatti traced the problem to the final individualization configuration step, where the production IT system did not block that rim choice before the car was assembled. With this body and rim combination, Bugatti's filing says downforce is greatly reduced in Top Speed Mode, which can affect side-to-side stability.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is tied to intentionally activating Top Speed Mode with the Top Speed Key, not to a dashboard light, noise, or visible rim damage.

What's the safety risk?
When Top Speed Mode is active, the incorrect wheels can lead to loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. There is no specific warning sign tied to the wheel issue; the risk is tied to intentional Top Speed Mode activation with the Top Speed Key. Repair is free at any franchised Bugatti dealer.
