What This Recall Means

Component

TRAILER HITCHES

What Happened

The trailer hitch on your Mini Cooper Clubman or Countryman is a metal bracket that attaches your trailer to your vehicle. However, some of these hitches were installed with weak points that could make them sag or break under heavy loads.

Risk if Unfixed

If the hitch sags or breaks off while you're towing a trailer, you could lose control of the trailer and increase the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Curt will notify you, and your authorized Mini dealer will replace the hitch with a stronger one, free of charge. You'll get a brand new hitch to ensure your safety on the road.
