The 2022 MINI Cooper SE has two recalls, both involving fire risks tied to the high-voltage battery: a potential short circuit in the battery or high-voltage system, and water that can enter the battery through an improperly sealed housing.
Both issues center on the same battery pack. A short circuit in the high-voltage system can lead to a fire, while water intrusion through a poorly sealed battery housing can also cause a fire or cause the car to stall unexpectedly. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve these issues, which is why separate recall filings exist for what amounts to overlapping battery safety concerns.
