Recalls: MINI U25 Countryman
2023-24 MINI U25 Countryman: reduced braking performance; ABS and DSC disabled
In August 2024, recall campaign 0034224983 was issued for 2023-24 MINI U25 Countryman vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, signal interference may occur within the electronics of the brake system. If this occurred, greater brake pedal force may be required for braking (thereby increasing braking distances), and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system would not be available. This condition therefore increased the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants, pedestrians, and other road users. If this condition occurred, drivers would be alerted by a brake warning light in the instrument cluster and a message on the central display. Owners were advised that if a warning message appeared, they should follow the instructions and promptly contact their nearest BMW dealer. Furthermore, BMW requested that owners action any Remote Software Update if they received a request on the vehicle’s central display. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-006061.
2024 MINI U25 Countryman: potential loss of power braking, ABS and DSC
In October 2024, recall campaign 0034950200 was issued for 2024 MINI U25 Countryman vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, a component of the brake booster system may have been incorrectly welded and could break. If this occurred, greater pedal force would be required to slow the vehicle and braking distances may increase. Additionally, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) systems may not work – this increased the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. If the brake booster system failed, drivers would be alerted by the brake warning light in the instrument cluster, and a message would appear on the central display. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-006091.
