Mini Coopers recalled because of an airbag defect - Business Insider

BMW is recalling 91,800 Mini Coopers to fix a defect that may prevent the air bag on the front passenger side of the cars from deploying in a crash. The problem affects the 2005 to 2008 models of the Mini Cooper and Cooper S. BMW says the air bag may not work properly because of a flam that might prevent the vehicles' mat detection system from sensing a passenger sitting in the front seat. To repair the problem, BMW will replace the detection mat in the affected models for free. Source: www.businessinsider.com
