2004 MINI Cooper & 2004 MINI Cooper S recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the flat tire monitoring system has not been correctly programmed. In the event of a flat tire, an audible signal will not sound to alert the driver to a flat tire.
💥 The risk
Due to the lack of an audible signal, the driver may not be aware of a flat tire, which could increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will reprogram the vehicle's software in order to actuate the flat tire monitoring system's audible signal. The recall began october 13, 2004. Owners should contact MINI customer relations at 1-866-275-6464.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
