Details

What's wrong: The frontal air bag system has two external impact sensors. On certain MINI vans,some sensors were insufficiently sealed during manufacturing. If water enters a sensor, corrosion can occur. Corroded sensors could short circuit internally. If sensors fail, the SRS warning lamp on the instrument panel will turn on and remain illuminated.

Why it matters: Front impact sensor failure could cause a delay in, or loss of, frontal air bag deployment, which can increase the risk of injury in a frontal crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the front impact sensors. The recall began on August 30, 2005.
