Details

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.

Why it matters: 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.
