2003 MINI COOPER S Recalls (2)

Campaign:
03V086000 on 03/17/2003
Component:
Suspension:rear:shock absorber
Manufactured:
09/24/2002 - 11/13/2002
Affected:
5,110
Defect:
On certain vehicles, the lower screw connection of the rear struts to the chassis may fail. the head (top) of the screw securing this connection may break. the remaining portion of the screw will still hold the strut in place.
Consequence:
If left unattended over a period of time, and depending on driving conditions, the remaining portion of the screw may break. if it broke, the chassis would lean directly on the tire diminishing the driver's ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the lower screw connection of the rear struts. owner notification began april 7, 2003. 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 1-800-831-1117.
Notes:
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
Campaign:
15V660000 on 10/14/2015
Component:
Steering:electric power assist system
Manufactured:
07/17/2001 - 02/08/2005
Affected:
86,018
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.
Correction:
Mini will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the electro-hydraulic power steering system, replacing the components and wiring, as necessary, free of charge. interim notices were mailed to owners on december 10, 2015. owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. owners may contact mini customer service at 1-866-825-1525.
