Bimmer Update

MINI USA had just filed a recall with the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration. (NHSTA)

Based on the filing the 2009 JCW Cooper Works and Clubman models were equipped with 16-inch diameter front brake discs rather than 17-inch discs, under conditions of intense brake usage, could experience reduced braking performance.

MINI dealerships will inspect the brakes and make the necessary changes to the pads and cans if necessary. MINI owners should receive a call or notice in the mail letting them know to bring their car to the dealer.

Owners can contact BMW at 1-866-275-6464, or by e-mail atmini.assistance@askminiusa.com, if they would like to make inspection arrangements before the notice arrives
