I heard from someone that there was a recall on the MINI? Can anyone verify this?

Thanks!

Yes, there was a recall issued for a transmission wire. Someone else on here posted exactly what parts should be replaced...I just got mine back (it took a week!). I would bet your dealer will take care of it before delivery...

Yes, went in to have my sheels changed out - 16" to 17" and they mentioned the recall. I waited for the car took about 2.5 hours.

I believe that there has "officially" been a recall regarding the shift linkage cable on Coopers, apparently built May '02 or earlier. BMW/Mini has been very slow to get this notice out. On the home page of this website I submitted a post regarding the shift linkage repair. That post (and others on the site) has more info, phone number to contact Mini, etc.

slameddy, I don't think the recall will apply to your car, since it's not arriving until September. My understanding is that it was only relatively early production cars that were affected.

Andrew:

Do you know if that includes a fix to the cool start problem others have reported? Does the AC need improvement and will these all be corrected on the 2003 models?
