2002 MINI Cooper recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain passenger vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, 'tire selection and rims.' the standard requires that the relationship between the tire size and maximum tire pressure be indicated on the vehicle's tire information label. This relationship is not present.
💥 The risk
Too low or too high tire pressure CAN cause premature wear and/or tire damage, and could lead to unfavorable driving conditions.
🔧 The fix
Owners will be provided with new tire information placards and installation instructions. At the customer's option, a dealer CAN perform the installation for them. The recall began on november 30, 2005. Owners may contact MINI 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.)
