Mini has issued a recall for older Cooper Hardtop and Clubman models for a potential fire risk. It affects the 2008 to 2014 Clubman and the 2007-2013 Cooper Hardtop, including the Cooper S and John Cooper Works variants.
The issue involves vehicles equipped with a sunroof where significant temperature changes, like multiple freeze/thaw cycles, can damage a car's drain hose. The damaged hose could loosen and eventually detach from the drain pipe within the A-pillar. If this happens, water can enter into the vehicle's interior.
