Incorrect tire pressure can cause premature wear and tire damage which could lead to unfavorable driving conditions increasing the risk of a crash.
Resolution
Owners will be provided with new tire information placards and installation instructions. at the customer's option, a dealer can install the label for them. the recall began on january 16, 2008. owners may contact mini at 1-866-275-6464.
