MINI filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jul 14, 2025, received Jul 28, 2025, about the service brakes. It names 2 model years (2025). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 2 model years this bulletin names have filed 25 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 11 of them name Service Brakes — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
The vehicle experienced two separate incidents of severe unintended acceleration and brake failure. Incident 1: The vehicle was parked in regenerative braking mode. It aggressively accelerated forward on its own, and the brakes failed to respond, taking several minutes to stop.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is MINI M340225 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the M340225 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every BMW warranty extension on file lists the ones BMW has filed.
Which vehicles does M340225 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2025 MINI Cooper, 2025 MINI Countryman. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
