6 recalls across 3 model years
The MINI Clubman has 6 recalls covering 2016–2019 model years, with the most serious being a side curtain airbag defect on 2016–2017 vehicles where the front seat airbags can fail to deploy correctly in a crash, leaving front occupants without intended side-impact protection.
A related issue on 2016 models involves side curtain airbag fabric covers that were not pre-perforated correctly, which can also prevent the airbags from opening as intended in a crash. On 2017 models, a separate airbag concern involves the seat-mounted airbag inflator initiator, which can fail to ignite and leave that airbag completely inactive in a collision.
The 2019 model year has a crankshaft sensor loaded with incorrect firmware that can misread engine input and cause the engine to stall unexpectedly while driving. On 2016 models, the rear inner brake lights turn off when the turn signal is activated, which can reduce visibility to following drivers during braking. There is also a recall on certain aftermarket Class 1 trailer hitches sold for 2016 models where the mounting points on the vehicle may not provide adequate support, causing the hitch to sag or break free under load.
