The recall is due to a problem with the batteries, which can overheat and catch fire even when the vehicle is not being driven.
German automaker Bayerische Motoren Werke AG is recalling Mini Cooper SE electric vehicles due to battery problems. This is stated in the company’s message.
We are talking about more than 140 thousand cars produced in Europe between November 2018 and January 2024, including 12.5 thousand in the USA and about 39 thousand in Germany.
The recall is due to a problem with the batteries, which can overheat and catch fire even when the vehicle is not being driven. The Company is aware of two such incidents that did not result in casualties or injuries.
BMW plans to install software in the car that can detect if there is a problem, at which point the battery will be replaced.
We remind you that the German automaker BMW AG for the first time surpassed the American company Tesla in the sale of electric cars in the European Union.
It was previously reported that BayerischeMotorenWerkeAG is recalling about 720.8 thousand cars in the United States due to the possibility of a short circuit.
