What's wrong?
The tire information placard on the 2024-2025 BMW X5 is the label that tells an owner and service shop what tire size belongs on the vehicle and what cold inflation pressure BMW recommends. It is part of the tire and rim information required by federal safety rules. The label matters because tire pressure guidance has to match the tires installed at assembly.
On affected X5 vehicles, BMW says tire data from an internal system was used for vehicles that needed a different tire size and pressure listing. That error caused the wrong placard to be printed and installed during assembly. The vehicle itself was built with its assigned tires, but the label does not match those tires, which leaves the owner with incorrect service information.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is visible only by comparing the placard against the tire size installed on the vehicle and the correct BMW tire pressure information.
Who's affected?
The same tire information placard issue appears across both listed model years.

What's the safety risk?
Incorrect tire information can lead to the wrong tire size or tire pressure, which increases crash risk. Until the placard is replaced, confirm tire size and pressure with a BMW dealer before tire service or inflation. Repair is free at any franchised BMW dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a BMW technician removes the incorrect tire information placard and installs the correct placard with the proper tire size and tire pressure information for the vehicle. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the dealer repair is free. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
