4 recalls across 10 model years
The MINI JCW has 4 recalls spanning 2007 through 2020, with the most serious being a crankshaft sensor firmware defect on 2019 models that can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly while driving, raising the risk of a crash. On 2020 Hardtop 2-Door JCW models, rear side trim panels may have been assembled without a crash pad, leaving rear seat passengers with less protection in a side impact. Two separate recalls cover fire risk from electrical faults: 2007-2013 models registered in certain northern and midwestern states are subject to an electrical short-circuit in the wiring that can start a fire, and 2007-2012 models have a turbocharger circuit board that can overheat and also cause a fire.
