What Happened
The electronic control module in your MINI is a small computer that helps control your vehicle's systems. In the footwell area near your driver's side footrest, this module is vulnerable to corrosion from water and road salt.
Risk if Unfixed
If this module short-circuits, it could cause a fire, which could put you and others at risk.
Free Fix
Your MINI dealer will inspect the sunroof drains and the area around the electronic control module, and replace any damaged parts for free. This includes inspecting the Forward Rear Mount (FRM) and possibly replacing it. You'll receive a notification letter, and you should schedule the inspection as soon as you get it.
