Buying a used 2020 MINI Cooper S? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2020 MINI Cooper S has 2 recalls involving occupant protection: airbags that may fail in a rollover and a missing crash pad behind rear trim. These concerns are distinct from the leading complaint area, engine issues, which appears in 2 of the 5 unverified NHTSA owner complaints. Speed control, service brakes and steering each appear in 1. The complaint record includes 1 crash and 1 injury, with 0 fires, but does not establish a link to either recall.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify completion of the rollover airbag recall.
- Confirm the rear trim crash pad recall was completed.
- Request records for engine, speed control, brake and steering concerns.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any MINI dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
