Mini Cooper EV recalled due to ***** risk

Mini Australia has recalled 1408 examples of the Cooper SE, due to a software fault which could cause the electric hatchback to catch *****.

“The high-voltage battery management software has insufficient protections for short circuit events. As a result, if a short circuit occurs it could lead to a vehicle ***** whilst driving or parked,” the carmaker said in its recall notice.

“A vehicle ***** could increase the risk of serious injury or ****** to vehicle occupants, other road users, and bystanders, and/or damage to property.”
