The 2007 MINI JCW has two recalls, both involving fire risk: an electrical short-circuit and an overheating turbocharger circuit board that can each lead to a fire.
The electrical recall affects vehicles sold or registered in certain cold-weather and mid-Atlantic states, where conditions appear to contribute to the short-circuit risk. The second recall involves the turbocharger control circuit board, which can overheat and ignite surrounding materials.
