Does a recall affect your MINI Countryman?

Not every MINI Countryman is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

MINI Countryman recalls by year

Recalls launched each year, 2013 to 2026

2020 had the most, with 5. 2026 runs to 14 September 2026. A count of recalls is not a measure of safety: one recall can cover a handful of cars or tens of thousands.

Software fault with crankshaft sensor

Launched 20 August 2018 DVSA recall R/2018/211 Manufacturer ref. 0013850200 0013860200

Defect
The affected vehicles may be equipped with a crankshaft sensor with a software fault. The crankshaft sensor cannot process the signal values from the crankshaft transmitter due to an improper firmware level. The firmware does not compensate sufficiently the temperature gradients and the magnetic field strength of the sensor electronic. If the crankshaft sensor cannot process the signal values from the transmitter the Digital Diesel Electronic (DDE) will notice that and change to the emergency operation mode. The emergency mode will be displayed by the check control message engine malfunction. The driver may notice a rough running engine and a reduced driving power (70%). However an engine stalling during driving conditions cannot be excluded.
Remedy
On the affected vehicles the crankshaft sensor will be replaced with a new version.

Launched 9 July 2018 DVSA recall R/2018/171 Manufacturer ref. 0031850100 0031860100

Defect
Due to a fault in the supplier production process the swivel bearings on the front axle of the affected vehicles may not have been produced to specification.

Derived statistics UK Motoring 		January 1992 to September 2026 20 recalls matched to this model 15 September 2026
  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the MINI Countryman. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
