BMW of North America is recalling 9 units of the 2025 MINI Countryman S ALL4 and JCW Countryman ALL4 because an armrest support bracket on the rear door panel may be loose. This defect allows the armrest to detach when an air bag is triggered during a crash. To fix this, dealers will replace the rear door panels on both sides for free. Although these vehicles were not yet sold from dealer inventory, owners who have taken delivery can contact MINI customer service for assistance.
If the vehicle is in a crash and the air bags deploy, a loose armrest can break off and hit a passenger in the back seat. Additionally, the detached armrest may prevent the side air bag from protecting the passenger properly, increasing the risk of injury.
Replace the left and right rear side door panels.
