Mini when the affected vehicles are braking and the turn signals are on, the inner, bumper-mounted, brake light will go out.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the exterior lighting brake lights. Here is what owners need to know.
When the affected vehicles are braking and the turn signals are on, the inner, bumper-mounted, brake light will go out. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
If the brake light does not illuminate when a turn signal is activated, other drivers may be confused, increasing the risk of a crash.
MINI will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the vehicle to correct the brake lighting, free of charge.
