4 recalls across 10 model years
The MINI JCW has 4 recalls spanning 2007 through 2020, with the most serious being a fire risk on 2007–2013 models where corroded wiring in high-rust-belt states can short-circuit and ignite, even without a crash or mechanical failure.
The 2007–2012 model years carry a second fire-related concern: the turbocharger circuit board can overheat and start a fire in the engine compartment. The 2020 Hardtop 2-Door has a structural issue where rear side trim panels may have been assembled without a crash pad, leaving rear passengers with less protection in a side impact. The 2019 model year has a crankshaft sensor that may carry incorrect firmware, causing it to lose track of engine position and stall the vehicle unexpectedly while driving.
