German auto maker BMW says it 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 said the air bag might not work properly because a vehicle's
mat detection system might be prevented from sensing a passenger
sitting in the front seat.
BMW told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration it
has been notified of one minor injury linked to the defect.
To repair the problem, BMW will replace the detection mat in the
affected models for free. The recall will begin May 1.
