BMW is recalling 28,450 Mini Cooper S cars from the 2007 and 2008 model years due to centrally located tailpipes that protrude too far past the rear bumper. If the tailpipe is hot and someone walks by, they could be inadvertently burned.
The recall will begin in January, and Mini dealers will replace the tailpipe with a shorter one free of charge.
Owners can contact BMW/Mini at 800-831-1117 with questions.
