3 recalls across 8 model years
The MINI Cooper S Convertible has 3 recalls covering 2005 through 2012, with the most serious being a fire risk on 2007-2012 models where an overheating circuit board in the turbocharger system can smolder and ignite a vehicle fire. This issue spans two separate filings that together cover the 2007-2011 and 2011-2012 model years, with 2011 models falling within both ranges.
On 2005-2008 models, a faulty passenger seat sensor mat can fail to detect an occupied seat, leaving the front passenger airbag inactive. In a crash, the airbag would not deploy for a seated passenger, raising the risk of injury.
