I just saw a used Cooper S listed that looks like it might be right up my alley. Before I make an offer, though, could you let me know if the Cooper S has ever been the subject of any recalls?
Recall 20V283000 in May 2020: An issue with the rollover sensor within the Cooper S’s airbag control unit (ACU) could cause the airbags not to deploy in the event of a rollover crash. This could increase the chances of injury or death for vehicle occupants.
Recall 19V634000 in August 2019: The rear side trim panels may not have a crash pad properly installed. The lack of side-impact crash pads could result in an increased risk of injury or death in a side-impact crash.
Note that the recalls listed above were aimed, specifically, at the Cooper S. The
, as a whole, has been the subject of at least 19 recalls over the years, so depending on the specific model you’re considering, you may need to check out some additional information.
