The 2020 MINI Cooper S has two recalls, both related to side and rollover crash protection that can leave rear and side occupants with less protection than required in a serious crash.
The first involves rear side trim panels that may have been assembled without a crash pad inside, meaning rear seat passengers have reduced protection in a side impact. The second involves the curtain airbags, which may not deploy as intended in a rollover, reducing protection for occupants during that type of crash.
