1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2025

The airbag warning light randomly remains on. From what I understand this is a known issue as there has been previous recalls by Mini. This could potentially mean the airbag system is faulty and non-operational. Based on online searches, it seems like a lot of there problem are wiring problems though, bad connections. The previous recalls should be extended further, as there are other cars with the same problem, like mine.

2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2024

On almost all r56 model Mini Coopers the passenger seat occupancy sensor has a major malfunction that causes it to fail and pop up an airbag sensor light even when someone is sitting in the seat, Mini USA did not issue a recall but rather a reimbursement form for owners in 2017 the last year of production for that car and did not publicly disclose this. I feel as though this should be a recall as it is common enough for bypass devices to be normal for this car.

3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2024

Wmwmf73507tt82827. Airbag sensor recall. My car is part of a recall under Mini recall 23v-xxx: footwell module. I took my car to a dealer and they told me that they would not repair it because my car is a 2007. My mileage is 102,000k miles. The notice says im covered but they say im not. The recall notice is for the year of my car and they are saying my car is too old. This recall is for the year of my car so I am not understanding. A light comes on that shows the passenger airbag. Upon inspection by the dealer, it is a faulty seat mat sensor and needs to be replaced and cost $2,120. 56. I dont have that kind of money. This should be addressed under the recall. My name is melody l. Light, 16022 halldale Ave. , gardena CA, 90247. Phone #313-212-9415. The dealership is Mini Cooper downtown los angeles. 6333 s almeda los angeles CA 90001. I never received this recall notice and knew of this only because the light indicator came on.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2023

Restraint system malfunction fault in passenger-restraint system effecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter. Having to replace passenger seat or sensor to indicate I have a passenger so the airbag will deploy. It looks like there may have been a recall for this in the past according to an article I found, but my VIN does not come up as needing this item replaced. Cost is approximately $800.

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2021

There is a warning light of airbag. But it havent reported when I purchased by a previous owner and carfax as well.

Failure Date: 11/06/2017

7 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2016

2007 Mini Cooper s airbag light with warning on navigation screen saying seat belt tensioner or belt force limiter has a problem and passenger airbag is off. Odometer is 76,000 when problem started.

8 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/20/2015

I have been told that my Mini Cooper airbag system has had a mechanical failure which has caused the car to disable the airbag system. There is currently a recall however my VIN number isn't included- I would suggest perhaps looking into where mine was produced to see if those are also affected by this recall. An airbag system shouldn't just disable itself- that definitely seems like a manufacturer defect.

9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/29/2015

Having exact same symptoms as detailed in a similar recall (NHTSA campaign number: 15v205000 -- front passenger seat occupant detection mat), in addition to having got a 93c3 fault code (seat-occupancy detector, passenger). Seems obvious that the defect is the same despite the sub-model not being the same (mine is a 2007 r56 Mini clubman, closest recalled model is 2007 r52 Mini convertible).

10 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2011

Seat belt warning for passenger seat stays on despite buckling the seat belt. I suspect the air bag deployment is therefore not functioning.
