A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- [M610607](/bulletins/10244507.md), 2023-11-01, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MINI electrical systems have continued to develop over the past few years. As a result, the demand on the batteries has increased. Breakdowns due to an empty battery or problems in the vehicles electrical system can have various causes, most of which are not due to the battery itself. For this reason, a battery replacement will permanently eliminate the problem only in the rarest of cases. The energy diagnosis test module helps to localize these causes. This document covers important information for the dealer on how to handle “discharged battery” complaints. Without performing the energy diagnosis test plan, the root cause of a discharged battery cannot be identified. In order to properly repair the vehicle the first time, it is very important that the diagnostic test plan is performed to completion; with all results taken into consideration.
- [M840322](/bulletins/10234353.md), 2023-04-17, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. The 3G network in the US has been shut down. This means that only the 4G network will be available. In the 4G network, voice calls will be transferred via Voice over LTE \(VoLTE\) function. For this purpose, the SIM card must perform an IMS registration in the mobile communication network. Due to a production error, the telematics control units were delivered without an IMS configuration. The Connected Drive voice services \(Concierge Call, MINI Assistance and emergency call voice\) can no longer be used regionally in the US in vehicle with telematics control units ATM\-1 and TCB\-4G. Voice control of the vehicle and all other telephone \(paired mobile devices\) functions are not affected. Emergency call location data is unaffected.
