Electric Mini Coopers recalled over major fire risk

More than 1400 luxury electric vehicles are being recalled in Australia amid warnings their batteries could short circuit and catch fire while being driven. 

The federal transport department issued the recall on Tuesday for Mini Cooper SE electric cars sold in Australia between 2020 and 2023. 

The warning follows a recall of more than 140,000 Mini Cooper vehicles issued by manufacturer BMW worldwide earlier this month.
