RDW open recalls

Not available

Registered model names in RDW cannot be separated reliably, so we do not show a model-specific percentage.

A campaign can appear in more than one register. These figures are advisory, not a per-VIN recall check.

10 Oct 2025 Passenger car Risk: Injuries. Ref SR/03495/25. The seat belts of the car were not manufactured correctly. In the event of a collision or accident, the restraint function of the seat belts may be reduced and may not provide the necessary protection. As a result, there may be an increased risk of injury. The product does not comply with the…
9 May 2025 Passenger car Risk: Fire. Ref SR/01730/25. A manufacturing defect in the high-voltage battery may cause a short circuit in the vehicles concerned. This may result in the vehicle catching fire, even when it is parked. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their…
10 Jan 2025 Passenger car Risk: Injuries. Ref SR/00051/25. The hollow shaft of the servomotor has been welded incorrectly. The weld may not be able to withstand high braking pressure build-up and may break. In this case, the reduced braking performance requires greater force and the braking distance may increase. In addition, the ABS and DSC brake control…
13 Dec 2024 Passenger car Risk: Fire. Ref A12/03519/24. A quality check showed that cell modules of the high-voltage battery may not have been manufactured to specification and therefore malfunctions may occur in the high-voltage battery. In certain situations, it cannot be ruled out that these malfunctions will lead to a short circuit in the…
20 Sept 2024 Passenger car Risk: Fire. Ref A12/02681/24. The high-voltage battery can short-circuit, causing the battery to overheat and the vehicle to catch fire, even when it is parked. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate…
19 Jul 2024 Passenger car Risk: Fire, Injuries. Ref A12/01914/24. The casing of the high-voltage (HV) battery may not be watertight, risking water entry. If water enters, a message alerts the driver about an insulation fault. Ignoring this warning can cause the HV battery to shut down mid-drive, leading the vehicle to decelerate to a stop, creating a risk of…
7 Oct 2022 Passenger car Risk: Fire. Ref A12/01378/22. Defects in the winding of cell-internal foils in the high-voltage batteries can lead to the occurrence of increased self-discharge. This can cause high voltage cell modules to overheat, increasing the risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market…
8 Jul 2022 Passenger car Risk: Fire, Injuries. Ref A12/00975/22. The micro gas generator inside the seat belt retractor may not have been manufactured to specifications. These deviations may lead to an impairment of the restraint function in case of an accident, increasing the risk of injury. Moreover, there may be an increased pre-displacement as well as a…
25 Oct 2019 Passenger car Risk: Injuries. Ref A12/1588/19. A spherical-collar disk is missing on the tie rod end of the steering gear. Consequently, the tie rod might wear off and break, leading to a loss of wheel control and increasing the risk of accident.
28 Sept 2018 Passenger car Risk: Fire, Injuries. Ref A12/1421/18. A crash guard is lacking for the high-pressure fuel pump in the engine compartment. In case of an accident, the high-pressure pump may be damaged, possibly leading to a fuel leakage and causing a fire.

How this compares

Each register is compared on its own with the 60 models we publish an EU recall page for; the registers are never combined into one score. Its 10 EU Safety Gate campaigns are fewer than the median of 17 for this set. Its 18 KBA campaigns are fewer than the median of 34.

Counts across sources are not comparable to each other and are never summed: a Safety Gate alert and a KBA campaign can describe the same defect or different ones. Treat each as one advisory pointer.

Confirm the recall status of the actual car

Match the campaign’s production dates to the car, then ask the manufacturer or an authorised dealer to check its VIN and confirm whether the repair is complete. A model-level list cannot establish that.

Check one specific MINI Cooper before you buy

A recall list is model-level. Enter this car’s VIN to see its decoded details, any available mileage records and clear next steps for checking recall status.
