Buying a used 2019 MINI Cooper? Check these 2 recalls first
The standout is a critical recall for a steering tie rod that may break; a second covers a crankshaft sensor fault that can stall the engine. Neither is flagged stop-driving or park-outside. Ten unverified owner complaints are on file with NHTSA, with no crashes, fires or injuries reported. Steering leads the categories with four reports, followed by electrical system and power train, which echoes the two recall subjects.
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.
- Confirm the tie rod recall repair is documented for this VIN
- Ask whether the crankshaft sensor was replaced or the car has ever stalled
- Have the steering and front suspension inspected before purchase
- Open recalls are repaired free at any MINI dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
