PSA: Recall for HV Battery

[pictsidhe]

The car also defaults to mid setting, so not sure how these cars are coming back after being updated with the default set at green

I bimmercoded mine to remember where it was last. Its also possible to code it to start in a particular mode. Generally, mine stays in sport. If I need to stretch the range, then I use one of the green modes to kill climate control

 

[SameGuy]

Yeah I know that. I coded mine to start in Sport mode, but when I got it back after the battery update, all my coding changes were wiped and it starts in Mid, as it's supposed to according to the manual.

As I never coded my setting as I start a car in sport mode just flipping a switch I wish I don’t have any different settings bc I drive a car only on Sport as the rest is no useful for me and my milage is about 120 miles anyway as I drive on highway or in a week 5- 20 miles daily

There has been another fire. I was contacted by a Mini SE owner in the UK. Their car caught on fire while parked at home

Parked at home whilst charging? Was that a J01 or F56?

Parked at home whilst charging? Was that a J01 or F56?

And the $64k question: had the software update been performed?

 

[teslarati97]

The only recall was for the J01 and J05 Aceman in the UK.

 

[xd366]

we had a recall for F56s last year. that's literally what this original thread is about

[CuriousGeorge]

Do you have any other information you can share?

Yeah, without more details and knowing if there was a proper investigation, it's really hard to draw any conclusions about this story.

It was plugged in and charging. Thin white smoke appeared from under the car then huge plume of white smoke and then it caught fire. They have doorbell cam video but aren’t willing to share it as of now.

The recall was apparently not done as it’s not known in UK
