Vehicles Affected: Approximately 30,400 model-year 2014-15 Mini Cooper Hardtop Two Door models and S models as well as model-year 2015 John Cooper Works Two Door models
The Problem: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the affected vehicles do not meet rear-seat side impact crash requirements and fail to comply with government safety standards. This puts rear passengers at a higher risk for injury in a crash. The automaker is not aware of any injuries related to this recall, however.
The Fix: Dealers will install additional energy absorption material between the rear interior side panels and the exterior vehicle body for free.
