SITUATION
BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall (effective September 24, 2020) on certain Model Year 2020-2021 MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) vehicles that were produced between March 12, 2020 and August 19, 2020.
The high-voltage battery may not have been produced to specifications. When charging the battery, this could lead to a short-circuit and, in rare cases, a thermal event. The affected high-voltage battery module(s) will be replaced.
Please do not charge the vehicle’s high-voltage battery until the affected HV modules have been replaced.
The Recall Notice and Q&A have been attached for further information.
CAUSE
On PHEV models, the HV battery may not have been produced to specifications. When charging the battery to near its full state of charge, this could lead to a short-circuit, and in rare cases a thermal event.
CORRECTION
The vehicle will be inspected and, if necessary, HV module(s) will be replaced.
