BMW is recalling approximately 12,535 of its 2020-2024 MINI Hardtop 2 Door (Cooper SE) vehicles. This recall was issued because faults in the high voltage battery or its system can occur, potentially leading to a short circuit. If a short circuit happens, it can cause the battery to overheat and may result in a vehicle fire, even while the vehicle is parked. Owners will receive a free software update from dealers that can detect these faults and discharge the battery to a safe state.
A short circuit in the high voltage battery increases the risk of a fire. If the vehicle displays a warning message, it should be parked outdoors and away from structures immediately to prevent the fire from spreading to buildings.
You have 2 options:
