Consumer Description

I received a recall notice from Mini USA in July 2023 regarding the Footwell Control Module (FRM). The letter states, "This safety recall involves the Footwell Control Module (FRM), an electronic control unit located behind an interior trim panel in the driver's footwell area. Due to a number of contributing factors, over time, the FRM could become susceptible to corrosion. Eventually, the corrosion could potentially result in a short circuit, resulting in a potential thermal event which could increase the risk of fire or injury." As of today, August 20, 2024 this recall does not have a fix, and has not been fixed in my car. I am upset that your website states that there is not recall on my car, when I have the letter in front of me. As well, my mechanic tells me this FRM controls the windows, sunroof, and lights. My sunroof hasn't worked properly since just before this recall came out. My mechanic states that MINI/BMW is aware of the problem, yet has not solution. How is it a car maker doesn't have to be more timely in fixing a "potential thermal event"?
