2002 MINI COOPER Recalls (5)

Campaign:
02V201000 on 07/25/2002
Component:
Power train:manual transmission:floor shift assembly
Manufactured:
09/28/2001 - 05/09/2002
Affected:
3,531
Defect:
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, the transmission shift cable connects the gearshift lever in the vehicle interior to the shift linkage on the transmission. it is possible for the shift cable to detach from the transmission shift linkage while the driver is attempting to change gears. if the cable detaches from the shift linkage, gear changes will no longer be possible and the transmission will remain in the last gear selected.
Consequence:
If shift cable detachment occurs and the transmission remains in any forward gear, the vehicle can still be driven in that gear only. however, if the transmission moves into neutral and remains there, the ability to accelerate or maintain speed will be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the shift cable and, if necessary, install a retaining clip over the end of the shift cable to prevent it from detaching from the transmission. owner notification began august 6, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bmw at 1-866-ask-mini (1-866-275-6464).
Notes:
Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Component:
Equipment:other:labels

Defect:
Certain passenger vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, 'tire selection and rims.' the standard requires that the relationship between the tire size and maximum tire pressure be indicated on the vehicle's tire information label. this relationship is not present.
Consequence:
Too low or too high tire pressure can cause premature wear and/or tire damage, and could lead to unfavorable driving conditions.
Correction:
Owners will be provided with new tire information placards and installation instructions. at the customer's option, a dealer can perform the installation for them. the recall began on november 30, 2005. owners may contact mini at 1-866-275-6464.

Defect:
Bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling certain model year 2002-2005 mini cooper and cooper s vehicles and 2005 cooper and cooper s convertible vehicles. the affected vehicles may experience temporary or permanent loss of the electro-hydraulic steering assistance.
Consequence:
If the vehicle experiences a loss of power steering assist, extra steering effort will be required at lower speeds, potentially increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
