The 2025 MINI Cooper S has 3 recalls, all centered on the braking system, where a malfunction can reduce power brake assist, extend stopping distances, and cause the anti-lock brakes and stability control to stop working correctly.
When the integrated brake system fails, the pedal may feel harder to press and the car may need significantly more distance to come to a full stop. At the same time, if the anti-lock brake system drops out, the wheels can lock up during hard braking, reducing the driver's ability to steer around an obstacle. A loss of stability control compounds this by removing the electronic corrections that help keep the vehicle from sliding or spinning out during sudden maneuvers. These three filings all describe the same underlying brake system problem, affecting brake assist, rear brake function, and the control modules that manage both anti-lock and stability functions.
