What Happened
The electronic control module in your MINI's driver's side footwell area is like a computer brain that helps control various systems. It's vulnerable to water and salt damage, which can cause a short-circuit.
Risk if Unfixed
If the module short-circuits, it could lead to a fire in your vehicle. This is a serious safety risk that you should address immediately.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect your vehicle's sunroof drains, footwell area, and other components. If needed, they'll replace any damaged parts for free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
