The 2015 MINI John Cooper Works has 2 recalls, both safety-related: the front passenger airbag may not deploy correctly in a low-speed crash, leaving that occupant less protected when they need it most.
The second recall involves the body structure on Hardtop 2 Door models, where the side impact protection for rear seat passengers falls short of required standards, raising the risk of injury to those passengers in a side collision.
