BMW MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS UK Recall Check

---

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2012/003 (30149)

Manufacturer Reference

0017470100

Defect

Some engines are fitted with an additional water pump for the turbo charger. In single cases an overheating of the circuit board can occur. A short-circuit to earth may cause the melting of the plug connections and the housing. Further heat development may then lead to scorch damage. In exceptional cases such overheating can lead to smouldering of the water pump. If smouldering occurs an engine compartment fire and vehicle fire cannot be excluded.

Remedy

The water pump will be replaced for a new more robust version.

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2008/122 (260)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

It is possible that the vehicle has been fitted with 16 inch front brake discs instead of the required 17 inch brake discs. If this is the case extreme braking could result in the over heating of the brake system and introduce vapour (air) bubbles into the brake fluid. This could affect the braking performance.

Remedy

Recall all potentially affected vehicles and check the size of the brakes discs on the front axle. If 16 inch brake discs are found replace these with the correct 17 inch brakes discs and brake pads.
