Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Passenger airbag sensor issue, I have seen this reported in other Mini coopers that were recalled but my specific model was not. I want to be sure all applicable vehicles are included in the recall for the safety of myself and other Mini owners. I have no airbag function right now and both my driver and passenger side airbag lights are on. My mechanic stated that I would need to replace the passenger seat sensor at the least.”
