AFFECTED VEHICLES

BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Non-Compliance Recall on Model Year 2016 - 2017 MINI Clubman vehicles produced from Start-of-Production through March 23, 2017 involving the reprogramming of the control units for the brake lamps.

Approximately 16,883 vehicles are affected by this recall.

NOTE: Vehicles in dealer inventory are affected by this recall/stop. Vehicles which are affected will show the campaign as "Open" when checked either in Warranty Vehicle Inquiry, AIR or ISPA Next. The affected vehicles will be identified with the campaign description: M630217 Recall - Program Control Units.

CAUSE

Software error in BDC (Body Domain Controller)

CORRECTION

Program and code the vehicle with ISTA/P 3.61.2.002 or ISTA 4.04.32 or higher to I-level F056-17-03-505 or a higher version.

Submit case for an IRAP coding which will bring I-Level to F056-17-03-506.

NOTE: ISTA coding data will be released at the end of April 2017. Once the new ISTA version is available this service information will be updated and IRAP will no longer be needed.

PROCEDURE

For vehicles that are sold and need to be delivered follow the procedure below:

Program the vehicle with ISTA/P 3.61.2.002 or ISTA 4.04.32. This will bring the vehicle up to I-Level F056-17-03-505.
After completion of the software update, submit a PuMA case titled "SI M63 02 17 IRAP"
Connect to the IRAP Next client immediately upon submitting the PuMA case, do not wait to be told to connect
The IRAP specialist will respond when completed. Once the IRAP session is completed the I-Level will be F056-17-03-506 (this I-level contains the fix needed to complete this campaign)
SI M09 01 16 includes further information on IRAP Next usage and functionality

After programming is completed check the function of the brake lights in the bumper. Refer to picture. Only the outboard brake light will be on when the brakes are applied with the Clubman door closed. Only the outboard brake light will be on when either directional is turned on.

Note that ISTA/P and ISTA 4 will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.

Always connect a MINI approved battery charger/power supply (SI M04 10 09 ).

For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P or ISTA 4, refer to CenterNet/TIS/Technical Documentation/Diagnostics and Programming/Programming Documentation.

Q & A has been attached for further information.

Vehicle Programming and Coding

When ISTA/P automatically reprograms and codes all the vehicle's control modules that "currently do not have" the latest software and if one or more control module failures occur "during" this programming procedure:

Please claim this "consequential" control module-related repair work under the defect code listed in this bulletin with the applicable KSD2/AIR labor operations.

Other Repairs

Control module failures that occurred "prior" to performing this programming procedure:

When "covered" under an applicable limited warranty, claim this control module-related repair work using the applicable defect code and labor operations in KSD2/AIR.

TREAD Act - Previous Customer-Pay Repairs

This Recall repair addresses the vehicle's rear brake lights which are functioning, however they function in "non-compliant" manner due to a software error.

Since the issue is addressed by reprogramming BDC control unit with updated software, reimbursement requests for prior customer-pay repairs that specifically address the issue described in this Recall bulletin are not very likely.
