What is the danger

Due to an error in the configuration of the engraving machine, the rim width is incorrectly engraved on the rear wheel rims as 7½ X18CH5-ET35 instead of 8½ X18CH5-ET46. The actual specification of the wheel rims and the wheels fitted to the vehicles is correct, at 8½ X18CH5-ET46. This increases the possibility that unsuitable tyres may be fitted (rim and wheel) in the event of a tyre change. As a result, this can lead to tyre damage and loss of vehicle stability and handling, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.
