## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain model year 2014\-2016 MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper two\-door vehicles, 2015\-2016 MINI John Cooper Works and MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper four\-door vehicles and 2014\-2015 BMW i3 vehicles.  Due to a manufacturing error, the passenger frontal air bag may not deploy properly in a low speed crash.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

In the event of a vehicle crash, an air bag that does not deploy properly increases the risk of injury to the front seat passenger.


## The remedy

MINI and BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag module, free of charge.  The recall began on November 25, 2015.  Owners may contact MINI customer service at 1\-866\-825\-1525 and BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417.
