The 2020 MINI Cooper has 2 recalls, both related to occupant protection in a crash: rear side trim panels may be missing an internal crash pad, and the curtain airbags may fail to deploy correctly in a rollover.
The missing crash pad in the rear side panels reduces protection for rear seat passengers in a side impact collision. The curtain airbag issue means the overhead airbags that are designed to protect occupants' heads during a rollover may not deploy as intended, leaving occupants without that protection when it's needed most.
