REC-006074

active

2020–2023 MINI MINI Cooper SE

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: B M W AUSTRALIA LTD.

Recall date: 16 September 2024

Defect

The high-voltage battery management software has insufficient protections for short circuit events. As a result, if a short circuit occurs it could lead to a vehicle fire whilst driving or parked.

Hazard

A vehicle fire could increase the risk of serious injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users, and bystanders, and/or damage to property.

Remedy

Owners of affected vehicles should contact their preferred authorised MINI dealer to update the vehicle’s software, free of charge. Note: All vehicles require an urgent software update. The new software includes a diagnostic function that reliably detects a battery malfunction and discharges the high-voltage battery to a level where a fire risk is not possible.
