- The problem
- Certain passenger vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, 'Tire selection and rims.' The standard requires that the relationship between the tire size and maximum tire pressure be indicated on the vehicle's tire information label. This relationship is not present.
- The risk
- Too low or too high tire pressure can cause premature wear and/or tire damage, and could lead to unfavorable driving conditions.
- The fix
- Owners will be provided with new tire information placards and installation instructions. At the customer's option, a dealer can perform the installation for them. The recall began on november 30, 2005. Owners may contact mini at 1-866-275-6464.

Equipment recalls for the 2002 Mini Cooper
Equipment complaints
My 2002 mini copper has had the air bag light come on on several occasions now. Repaired with new wiring harness in 11/03; now in 1/04 bag light has come on again. Dealer via phone cannot tell me if the bags work properly until diagnosed. I have checked web forums for this vehicle and this seems to be a widespread problem. I would think nhtsa or someone should look into this to determine if there should be a recall. *Ak
When the air conditioning is on, car stalls or stumbles while starting movement in first gear. This causes merges, left turns to get dangerous. Hot weather increases the occurrence of the problem.*Ak
