Warranty claims must be made as soon as
reasonably possible after a defect is discovered.
To make a claim, the car must be brought to any
authorized MINI dealer during normal business
hours.
The authorized MINI dealer will, without charge
for parts or labor (including diagnosis), either
repair or replace the defective part, if any. The
decision whether to repair or replace said parts is
solely the prerogative of MINI USA, a Division of
BMW of North America, LLC and must be
expected to correct the failure of the warranted
part. Parts for which replacements are made
become the property of the MINI USA. In all
cases, a reasonable time must be allowed for
warranty repairs to be completed after the car is
received by the authorized MINI dealer.
Warranty repairs do not constitute an extension
of the original limited warranty period for the
vehicle or a part thereof.
For assistance in determining which specific
parts or components of your vehicle are covered
under this warranty, please contact your
authorized MINI dealer.
It is the owner’s responsibility to have all
scheduled inspection and maintenance services
performed (at the owner’s expense), as
prescribed in the maintenance schedule for the
MINI Emission Control System. Service intervals
are computed by the onboard MINI Condition
Based Service system and displayed on the
instrument panel. The instructions for proper
maintenance and use can be found in the
Owner’s Manual. It is strongly recommended that
any replacement parts used for maintenance,
repair or replacement of emission control
systems be certified MINI Service Parts or MINI
Authorized Remanufactured Parts. Without
invalidating this warranty, the owner may elect to
have maintenance, repair or replacement of the
emission control systems performed by any
automotive repair establishment, or elect to use
parts other than certified MINI Service Parts.
However, the cost of such service or parts will not
be covered under this warranty, except in
emergency situations. In an emergency situation,
where an authorized MINI dealer or a warranty
replacement part is not reasonably available
(within 30 days), repairs may be performed at any
available service establishment using any
equivalent part. MINI USA, a Division of BMW of
North America, LLC will reimburse the owner for
such emergency repairs (including labor, parts
and diagnosis not to exceed the MINI USA’s rates
for labor, parts, and diagnosis in said area) that
are covered under this warranty. Replaced parts
and paid invoices must be presented at an
authorized MINI dealer as a condition of
reimbursement for emergency repairs not
performed by an authorized MINI dealer.
The use of replacement parts, which are not of
equivalent quality, may impair the effectiveness
of the emission control system. If other than
certified MINI Service Parts or MINI Authorized
Remanufactured Parts are used for maintenance,
repair or replacement of components affecting
emission control, the owner should obtain
assurances that such parts are warranted by their
manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine MINI
parts in performance and durability. MINI USA, a
Division of BMW of North America, LLC assumes
no liability under this warranty with respect to
parts other than genuine MINI parts.
However, the use of non-genuine MINI
replacement parts or non-EPA certified parts
does not invalidate the warranty on other
components, unless non-genuine MINI parts or
non-EPA certified parts cause damage to
warranted parts.
What Is Not Covered
This warranty does not cover malfunctions
caused by any of the following: accident, flood,
misuse, improper adjustment, modification,
alteration, tampering, disconnection, improper or
inadequate maintenance, use of leaded fuel or
fuels containing more than 10% ethanol, or other
oxygenates with more than 2.8% oxygen by
weight (i.e., more than 15% MTBE or more than
3% methanol plus an equivalent amount of
co-solvent).
The replacement of maintenance parts, such as
spark plugs, filters and similar items used in
required maintenance services, the repair or
replacement of maintenance parts beyond the
first required inspection/maintenance, or if the
part has been replaced earlier for reasons other
than it being defective.
