2009 MINI JCW & 2009 MINI JCW Clubman recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
BMW is recalling 560 my 2009 JCW (john cooper works) and JCW Clubman vehicles equipped with 16 inch diameter front brake discs rather than 17 inch discs. Under conditions of intense brake usage, braking performance would be reduced.
💥 The risk
Depending on traffic and road conditions, as well as a driver's reactions, reduced brake performance could increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the front brake discs and pads and, if necessary, replace them. The recall began on october 16, 2008. Owners may contact BMW/MINI at 1-866-275-6464 or by e-mail at [email protected]..
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.)
