What are the defects?
The high-voltage battery management software has insufficient protections for short circuit events. As a result, if a short circuit occurs it could lead to a vehicle fire whilst driving or parked.
What are the hazards?
A vehicle fire could increase the risk of serious injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users, and bystanders, and/or damage to property.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles should contact their preferred authorised MINI dealer to update the vehicle’s software, free of charge.
Note: All vehicles require an urgent software update.
The new software includes a diagnostic function that reliably detects a battery malfunction and discharges the high-voltage battery to a level where a fire risk is not possible.
