MINI (BMW of North America) is performing a recall on various 2014 & 2015 model year MINI Cooper and Cooper S Hardtop (2dr) models produced from Jan. 6, 2014 through Oct. 17, 2014. The automatic transmission control units may have been inadvertently reprogrammed to allow the driver to exit the vehicle when the transmission is not in the PARK position.
Affected models:
MINI F56 chassis – Cooper and Cooper S 2dr Hardtop produced 01-06-14 through 10-17-14.
According to the recall:
“If the driver exits the vehicle without the transmission being in Park, the vehicle could roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders. ”
MINI dealers will reprogram the transmission control unit with the proper program to meet US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) guidelines.
The recall begins February 1, 2015.
Owners of affected vehicles are being notified by MINI. Further information can be obtained by contacting MINI customer relations at 1-866-825-1525.
