2026 MINI Countryman

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the rear outboard seat belt(s) may have been damaged during production. As a result, the seat belt(s) may not hold a person in place during a crash. Additionally, the seat belt(s) may not properly lock to secure a child seat. 
Note: The vehicle's lower universal anchorage system (UAS) is not affected by this defect and may still be used to secure a child seat. 

Safety Risk: 
A seat belt that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
To reduce the safety risk, the company advises that you shouldn't transport passengers in the rear outboard seats until the recall repairs are completed. The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the left and/or right rear seat belt(s), as necessary.
