What Happened
The electronic control module in your MINI's footwell is a small computer that helps your car work properly. In certain models from 2007-2014, this module can short-circuit if water and road salt seep into the area.
Risk if Unfixed
If the control module short-circuits, it could cause a fire in your car's footwell area. This is a serious risk that could harm you or someone else.
Free Fix
Your authorized MINI dealer will inspect the sunroof drains, the footwell area, and the FRM, and replace any faulty components as needed – all at no cost to you. You should schedule the inspection and repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
