Mini during a service appointment, the affected vehicles received replacement front passenger seat cushions (which contain integral Capacitive Interior Sensing (CIS) functions).
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the sensor occupant classification. Here is what owners need to know.
During a service appointment, the affected vehicles received replacement front passenger seat cushions (which contain integral Capacitive Interior Sensing (CIS) functions). The CIS functions may have been incorrectly calibrated, and if so, would cause impaired occupant classification and thus inappropriate air bag activation/deactivation.
Inappropriate air bag activation/deactivation can increase the risk of occupant injury in the event of a vehicle crash.
MINI will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front passenger seat cushion, free of charge.
