Details

What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the driver and front passenger seatback adjustment mechanism may not be fully engaged.

Why it matters: If the seatback adjustment mechanism is not fully engaged, the seatback may fold during a rear impact collision, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

The fix: Mini will notify owners, and dealers will re-align and re-tighten the seatback adjustment mechanisms, free of charge. The recall began December 29, 2014. Owners can contact MINI customer service at 1-866-825-1525.
