- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 17V222000
- Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC
- Reported: 2017\-03\-31

## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2016\-2017 MINI Cooper Clubman, Cooper S Clubman and JCW Clubman vehicles.  When the affected vehicles are braking and the turn signals are on, the inner, bumper\-mounted, brake light will go out.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."


## What can happen

If the brake light does not illuminate when a turn signal is activated, other drivers may be confused, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

MINI will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the vehicle to correct the brake lighting, free of charge.  The recall began May 22, 2017.  Owners may contact MINI customer service at 1\-866\-825\-1525.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
