BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2014-2015 MINI Cooper Hardtop vehicles (both 2-door and 4-door models) and 2014-2015 MINI Cooper S Hardtop vehicles (both 2-door and 4-door models) manufactured between February 2014 and June 2015. The recalled vehicles may have received replacement front passenger seat cushions during service appointments with incorrectly calibrated Capacitive Interior Sensing functions, which could cause the air bag system to activate or deactivate inappropriately and increase the risk of occupant injury in a crash.
MINI will notify owners of the recall, and dealers will inspect and replace the front passenger seat cushion free of charge if necessary. The recall began on December 28, 2015. Owners of affected vehicles should contact MINI customer service at 1-866-825-1525 for assistance.
