3 recalls across 4 model years
The MINI John Cooper Works has 3 recalls spanning 2009 through 2016, with the most serious being a passenger frontal airbag that can fail to deploy correctly in a low-speed crash on 2015-2016 models, raising the risk of injury to the front seat passenger. The 2015 model year also has a separate structural issue where the body does not meet side impact protection requirements for rear seat passengers, meaning those occupants face a higher risk of injury in a side collision. Going back to the earliest year of production, 2009 models were fitted with brake discs sized for 16-inch wheels rather than the correct 17-inch units, which can cause the discs to overheat under heavy braking and reduce stopping performance.
