2023 MINI Countryman

Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

[XXX]: Clear blue sky conditions. Cools temps 63 degrees. Driving 75 mph on [XXX] South of Sarasota FL,. 2:30 pm, low traffic a few average cars around me. I had the window slightly opened for a moment then closed it and turned the heat on low just to get some warmth. Within moments I experienced a deafening explosion and look up and see the Sunroof completely shattered. Glass all over me and the car. I have pictures to support. [XXX] highway did not have any debris on the roads. No trucks. A few average size vehicles. The event was Very scary and shocking. I maintained composure, exited the highway and went to ACE hardware. Purchased $34 dollars in heavy leather gloves, to remove glass. Duct Tape to secure remaining glass pieces and a small dust pan and hand broom. Drove vehicle to dealer and was informed it may not be covered as a defect. That is unbelievable and unacceptable.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Some model year (MY) 2023/2024 MINI vehicles may be equipped with a Body Domain Controller (BDC)that needs to be replaced. This is not a safety, emissions, or any other performance issue.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
