The 2011 MINI JCW has 2 recalls, both involving fire risk: an electrical short-circuit and an overheating turbocharger circuit board that can each lead to a vehicle fire.
The electrical recall affects vehicles sold or registered in certain cold-weather and northern states, where conditions appear to contribute to the short-circuit risk. The second issue involves the turbocharger control circuit board, which can overheat and ignite.
