This “Important Limited Warranty Information,” effective with the date listed above, applies to the
MINI model with the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of WMWLN5C57GA123456.
Dear MINI Owner/Lessee:
MINI USA, a division of BMW of North America, LLC (“MINI USA”) is committed to delivering the best
product satisfaction to our customers, towards that end, MINI is extending the limited warranty
coverage for the automatic transmission’s:
• Selector Lever Magnetic Shift Interlock Mechanism on the above-referenced vehicle to:
• 10 years/120,000 miles, as determined from your vehicle’s original in-service date, when
a repair kit installation procedure is required to be performed to address the issue described below.

This component issue and repair-specific extended limited warranty (ELW) applies to defects in
materials and/or workmanship. This coverage is subject to the same vehicle eligibility requirements
and limitations that apply to the MINI New Passenger Car Warranty.
This is not a notice of a Recall or Service Action. This is a notice of a “component issue and
repair-specific extended limited warranty.”
The automatic transmission’s selector lever “position detection” mechanism return spring may fail. If
this situation occurs, a Check Control message (CCM) stating: “P not engaged - secure vehicle with
parking brake against rolling away” displays after the automatic transmission’s selector lever is placed
into park. However, the “parking lock” function will still engage, securing the vehicle against rolling.
If your vehicle is experiencing the “specific situation” described above, please contact your authorized
MINI dealer to schedule an appointment to have the issue with your vehicle diagnosed.
After the MINI dealer confirms that the affected component requiring repair in your vehicle
corresponds to this component issue and repair-specific extended limited warranty coverage, and your
vehicle qualifies, the authorized MINI dealer will perform the applicable “selector lever mechanism”
repair free of charge.

Repairs performed on ineligible vehicles, eligible vehicles operated and repaired outside the United
States and Puerto Rico, or the diagnosis and repair of issues that are outside the intended scope of this
extended coverage, other unrelated issues, and/or that are due to outside influences are not covered by
this extended limited warranty. This exclusion also applies to repairs that were performed using (including
those repairs that result from using) non-genuine MINI parts and/or used MINI passenger car parts.
MINI USA will also reimburse “qualifying customer-pay repairs” performed prior to the release of this
component issue and repair-specific extended limited warranty, as described in this letter.
Our product’s integrity is essential to MINI’s success, and your trust. We are determined to exceed
those expectations and hope this warranty extension will further enhance your ownership experience.
Sincerely,
MINI USA, a division of BMW of North America, LLC
