## What is wrong

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FLAT TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTLY PROGRAMMED.  IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT TIRE, AN AUDIBLE SIGNAL WILL NOT SOUND TO ALERT THE DRIVER TO A FLAT TIRE.


## What can happen

DUE TO THE LACK OF AN AUDIBLE SIGNAL, THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE AWARE OF A FLAT TIRE, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE VEHICLE'S SOFTWARE IN ORDER TO ACTUATE  THE FLAT TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM'S AUDIBLE SIGNAL.   THE RECALL BEGAN OCTOBER 13, 2004.  OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MINI CUSTOMER RELATIONS AT 1\-866\-275\-6464.
