MINI Steering Recall #2012029

Recall date January 30, 2012
Models affected
  • 2005 MINI Convertible
Units affected 9,254
Details

On certain vehicles, the electro-hydraulic power steering pump could fail temporarily or permanently due to problems with the electronics that control the function of the pump, a failure of the pump cooling fan, or a loss of power to the pump.

A vehicle experiencing a loss of steering power assist would revert to a manual steering mode which would require greater driver effort, especially at low vehicle speeds.

Nevertheless, a loss of steering power assist could ultimately result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: The electro-hydraulic power steering pump, as well as the pump cooling fan, will be subject to special extended warranty coverage of 12 years or 200,000 km from first in-service date of the vehicle.
