In a statement, NHTSA warned that the recalled Bugatti Chiron had installed the wrong wheels, which the company's technicians believed could destabilize the vehicle and cause safety risks in specific modes such as "Top Speed". According to reports, after the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport enters Top Speed mode with the second key, the vehicle will adjust its rear wing and suspension system to increase the downforce to make the vehicle more stable at high speed.

Bugatti offers only two wheels for the Super Sport and higher-speed Super Sport 300 + models. However, the BBS Leichtbaurad hub used on a normal Chiron mistakenly appears in the configuration option of the Super Sport model. An American user chose the wheels, and his car was the only Bugatti Chiron affected by the recall.
