## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2025 MINI Countryman S ALL4 and JCW Countryman ALL4 vehicles.  The armrest support bracket on the rear side door panel may be improperly secured, allowing the armrest to detach during an air bag deployment.


## What can happen

A detached armrest can strike a rear seat occupant or prevent the thorax air bag from deploying properly, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the left and right rear side door panels, free of charge.  The vehicles have not been sold from dealer inventory and therefore no owner letters will be mailed.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417.


## 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.nhtsa.gov.
