Mini affected vehicles do not meet the side impact performance requirements for the rear seat passengers.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the structure body. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles do not meet the side impact performance requirements for the rear seat passengers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 214, "Side Impact Protection."
If the side impact performance requirements are not met, rear seat passengers may be at a higher risk of injury during a crash.
MINI will notify owners, and dealers will install additional energy absorption material between the rear interior side panels and the exterior vehicle body, free of charge.
