BMW is recalling approximately 97,933 MINI vehicles including 2008-2014 MINI Clubman (Cooper, Cooper S, John Cooper Works) and 2007-2013 MINI Hardtop 2-Door (Cooper, Cooper S, John Cooper Works) models. This recall specifically affects vehicles sold or ever registered in 30 states known for high road salt use, where water and salt may leak into the driver's side footwell. This moisture can cause the electronic control module to corrode and short-circuit, potentially leading to a vehicle fire. BMW dealers will inspect the sunroof drains and the footwell area, replacing components as necessary for free.
Corrosion from road salt and water entering the vehicle can cause an electrical short-circuit in the driver's side footwell control module. This short-circuit can occur even when the vehicle is not in use, significantly increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
Inspection and replacement of components.
