A bracket holding the armrest on the rear door panel of some 2025 MINI Countryman S ALL4 and JCW Countryman ALL4 models may not be fastened properly. If an airbag goes off, the armrest can break free. It could hit someone sitting in the back seat, or it could keep the side airbag that protects the chest from inflating the way it should. Dealers will replace both rear door panels. These cars have not been sold yet, so no owner letters are being mailed.

Your vehicle has an integrated brake system that can stop working correctly. If it fails, the brake pedal can suddenly get much harder to push, so you have to press far harder and the car needs more room to stop. The same fault can also knock out the anti-lock brakes and the stability control, the systems that keep the car from skidding or spinning during hard stops and slippery corners. The dealer replaces the whole brake unit.

The passenger seat belt has a locking mode that clamps the belt tight so it cannot loosen. On these cars that lock can switch off too early, before the belt has pulled all the way in. The belt then may not hold as it should in a crash, raising the chance of injury. The dealer will inspect the belts and retractors and replace them if needed, at no cost.

Debris may have gotten inside the hybrid battery cells of these BMW and MINI plug-in hybrids while they were being built. That debris can cause a short circuit in the battery, which can start a fire. BMW will inspect the battery and replace the battery module if needed, at no cost, but the full fix was still being developed. Until your vehicle is repaired, BMW says do not charge it and do not use sport mode, manual mode, or the shift paddles.
Reported 2020-08-18 · Campaign 20V490000 · Model years: 2020
On certain 2021 BMW 330e and X5 xDrive45e, 2020-2021 BMW X3 xDrive30e, and 2020 MINI Countryman SE ALL4 plug-in hybrids, stray bits of welding material left inside the hybrid battery can connect cells that should stay separate. That can cause a short circuit inside the battery, which can lead to a fire. A dealer inspects the battery and replaces the battery modules if needed, free of charge. BMW says all affected vehicles have already been repaired.
Reported 2018-08-23 · Campaign 18V557000 · Model years: 2018, 2019
These vehicles may be missing a metal plate that protects the high pressure fuel pump in a crash. Without it, the pump can be damaged if you are in a collision, and fuel can leak out. Leaking fuel near a hot engine can catch fire, which is dangerous for anyone in or near the car. The dealer will install the missing protection plate at no cost. MINI sent an early letter to owners and will send a second one once the repair parts are ready.
Reported 2018-07-12 · Campaign 18V465000 · Model years: 2019
A sensor that tracks the position of the engine's crankshaft was built with the wrong software inside it. Because of that, it may not read the engine correctly, and the engine can suddenly stall. A stall can happen while you are driving, leaving you without power in traffic. Dealers will replace the crankshaft sensor for free. BMW first announced this for one model and later expanded it to thousands more BMW and MINI vehicles.

This recall covers an add-on trailer hitch, part number 11451, that was sold to fit these Mini models — it is the hitch being recalled, not the car. The places on the vehicle where the hitch bolts on are not strong enough, so under certain loads the hitch can sag and may even come off the vehicle. A hitch that droops or detaches while you are towing can cause a crash. Curt will supply a replacement hitch free.
