Each campaign in detail

Recall: unsealed high-voltage battery casing (Cooper SE)
Manufacturer recall
A recall affects the Cooper SE: the high-voltage battery casing may not be watertight. Water can trigger an insulation warning, a cut-out of the drivetrain even while driving, or even a short circuit that could cause a fire. The first phase in France covered 213 vehicles built from June 2020 to November 2023; L'argus states that the campaign was later extended. Mini inspects the battery and replaces it if necessary.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
