BMW recalls 2025 MINI Country: Rear armrest may detach during airbag deployment, increasing injury risk. Owners must contact BMW for free door panel replacement.
A detached armrest can strike a rear seat occupant or prevent the thorax air bag from deploying properly, increasing the risk of injury.
BMW is recalling certain 2025 MINI Countryman models due to a rear armrest that can detach during airbag deployment, potentially causing injury. This affects vehicles where the armrest support bracket is improperly secured.
The rear side door armrest support bracket may become loose, causing the armrest to detach when the airbag deploys. This can strike a rear seat occupant or prevent the thorax airbag from deploying properly, increasing injury risk.
Owners of 2025 MINI Countryman S ALL4 and JCW Countryman ALL4 vehicles are affected. Rear seat occupants face the highest risk due to potential armrest detachment during airbag deployment.
Check for 2025 MINI Countryman S ALL4 and JCW Countryman ALL4 models. The recall applies to vehicles where the rear armrest support bracket is improperly secured.
