MINI bulletin 0099030300
MINI filed this with NHTSA as a emissions communication dated Jun 19, 2026, received Mar 13, 2026, about the electrical system — 3 documents under this number: M120126. It names 7 model years (2024–2026). A emissions communication is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationDue to an implementation error in various OBD diagnostics in the vehicle's control units, in very rare cases it may happen that stored fault memory codes (DTCs) and the MIL (warning light) are not automatically deleted even though the underlying malfunction has already been rectified. This does not comply with the statutory OBD specifications.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.
