The defect is blamed on a manufacturing process performed by the supplier that can cause the teeth of the seatback mechanism to disengage. The MINI Cooper front passenger and driver seatbacks can fold in a rear-end crash, folding an occupant right along with the seats.
The recalled 2015 MINI Cooper hardtops were manufactured August 12, 2014, to September 2, 2014.
