MINI Countryman And Paceman Recalls For Fire Risk

But don't you North Americans worry.  According to Australian site The Motor Report says MINI is recalling R60 diesel MINI Countryman and Paceman models because:

. . . MINI Countryman and Paceman models may suffer from moisture build up in the electric power steering unit, causing a fire in extreme cases.

No information has been provided on why gasoline powered MINIs have not been included in this recall.
