EAD with wrong date of birth

I received EAD card for my wife recently and noticed a flaw in her birth date, instead of 17, it is entered as 11. How serious is this, should I let it remain and have it changed for the next renewal? This is her second EAD, the first EAD had the correct date

Of course it is serious. Check your application (assuming you maintained copies before mailing) and see if you wrote the date correctly.
In any case, write to USCIS with the copy of the letter that came with EAD (It says send this stub for any communication to expedite the case.) and make sure they correct it. Search USCIS site for application for replacement card.

p.s. Your wife has to write the letter not you.
 
I had the same problem.
I called the 1-800# on the paper that your card comes attached to.
They told me I have to sent back the card and an explanation why I am sending it back.
So I contacted my lawyer and he wrote a letter explaining why he is sending it back and these supporting documents:
1. The actual card with the wrong date
2. The I-765 approval notice.
3. The I-765 'mailer" (top part of that paper your card comes with that says something like keep this for your records, to speed up renewal etc.
4. Copy of the actual I-765 application (to show that they made the error and not you, otherwise it WILL COST YOU ANOTHER $340).
5. The biographic page of your passport showing your birth date, so that they see it's you and when you were born.

Send it to the service center that send you the card. Mine was TSC and I got my new card back in less than 1 month.

Hope this helps.
Good luck
