What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

What Happened
The passenger air bag sensor in your MINI is a mat that checks if someone is sitting in the passenger seat. It's supposed to make sure the air bag deploys in an accident, but sometimes it can malfunction.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sensor doesn't work, the air bag won't turn on when you need it to. In a crash, this could leave your passenger more vulnerable to serious injury.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
MINI will replace the faulty sensor mat for free, so schedule the repair with your dealer as soon as you get the notice.

Affected Vehicles
