2021 MINI COOPER SE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 MINI Cooper SE has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the high-voltage battery pack, which can allow water intrusion that causes the car to lose drive power or the battery to overheat and catch fire, even while parked. This recall only affects the 3-door model. A related recall addresses faults in the high-voltage system that can cause a short circuit, also raising the risk of fire. Both battery concerns trigger a warning on the instrument panel when they occur, but the fire risk while parked means the vehicle may not give the driver any warning in time. On the safety equipment side, certain seat belt retractors may not function correctly in a crash, reducing the restraint the belt provides to the occupant.
