Mini Recalls 35,000 Cooper S Hardtops To Bolster Side Crash Protection

Mini is recalling about 35,000 cars in the U.S. and Canada because they don't meet side-impact crash-test requirements.

The recall includes certain Cooper and Cooper S Hardtop two-door cars from 2014 and 2015, as well as the 2015 John Cooper Works Hardtop two-door.

The company owned by BMW says that if crash-test requirements aren't met, rear-seat passengers could have a higher risk of injury.

Dealers will install more energy absorption material between the rear interior side panels and the body starting Sept. 12.
