MINI Cooper S (2020–2022)
What the hazard is
A loss of motive power and/or a vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property.
What to do
Owners of affected vehicles should immediately contact their preferred authorised MINI dealer or the BMW Australia's Recall Hotline below to schedule an appointment to have the high-voltage battery housing checked for any leaks and, if required, replace any damaged parts, free of charge.
Defect
Due to a manufacturing defect, the sealing of the high-voltage battery housing may be insufficient, allowing moisture to enter into the battery compartment. This may cause the vehicle's battery to turn off when driving resulting in a loss of motive power and/or vehicle fire. Note: the following message will appear on the central display, "You can continue driving. High-voltage system. In order to avoid subsequent damage, have the issue checked by the Service Partner".
