Published	2025-01-10
Country of origin	Germany
Manufacturer	Mini
Models affected	Cooper, Countryman, Aceman
Defect	The hollow shaft of the servomotor has been welded incorrectly. The weld may not be able to withstand high braking pressure build-up and may break. In this case, the reduced braking performance requires greater force and the braking distance may increase. In addition, the ABS and DSC brake control systems are not assisted. This increases the risk of an accident.
Remedy	Recall of the product from end users.
Recall number	SR/00051/25
