The 2021 MINI Cooper has 2 recalls, both tied to safety systems that may not perform correctly in a crash, raising the risk of injury to occupants.
One recall covers the seatbelt retractor, which can fail to function properly during a collision, meaning the belt may not restrain the occupant as intended. The other affects the side curtain airbags, which may not deploy correctly in a rollover, leaving occupants without that layer of protection when they need it most.
