Title: Mini Recall
Post by: dad1uk on 16 January 2012, 23:13:14

Just had this on a Community Forum in Birmingham......
May be of interest to some........

RECALL - MINI Cooper S and MINI JCW models built between 2006 and 2011, and affects around 29,000 cars. The potentially faulty circuit board – which has caused around a dozen reported fires in the US – is to be changed, and MINI owners affected in the UK will be getting letters over the next few weeks so they can book their cars in to their MINI dealers for the replacement part.
 
The risk of fire is minuscule, but if you’re worried, or if you’re outside the MINI dealer network and are worried MINI won’t contact you, you can call MINI Customer Service on 0870 5050160

Still, making a water pump that requires a PCB and catches fire is impressive even by BMW standards. ;)
