2 recalls covering model years 2022, 2023. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
On some MINI Hardtop 2 Door (Cooper SE) vehicles, a fault can occur in the high voltage battery or the high voltage electrical system, which can lead to a short circuit. A short circuit like this raises the risk of a fire.
The seal on the high-voltage battery housing may not have been done properly, which can let water get into the battery. Water damage to the battery can cause a fire or make the vehicle stall. Dealers will inspect and leak-test the battery, and repair it as needed, free of charge.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
