MINI COOPER S CONVERTIBLE Recalls

The MINI Cooper S Convertible has 3 recalls spanning 2007 through 2012, with the most serious being a supercharger circuit board that can overheat and start a fire in the engine compartment on 2007-2012 models. Earlier attempts to address this circuit board issue did not fully resolve it, and the recall was extended to cover additional model years through 2012. On 2005-2008 models, a passenger seat sensor can malfunction and register an occupied seat as empty, causing the front passenger airbag to remain inactive in a crash and leaving that occupant without airbag protection.
