SUBJECT
N14 Special Limited High-pressure Pump (HPP) Emission Warranty of
10 Years/120,000 Miles
MODEL
R55 MINI Clubman S with N14 from SOP up to 08/09

R56 MINI Cooper S with N14 from SOP up to 08/09

R57 MINI Cooper S Convertible with N14 from SOP up to 08/09

SITUATION
MINI has become aware of a potential problem that could affect the
durability of the High–pressure Fuel Pump (HPP) of certain MY 2007, 2008
and 2009 MINI automobiles equipped with N14 engines. We estimate that
only a small percentage of vehicles will actually develop a problem.
Vehicles affected may have the Service Engine Soon lamp illuminated with
various high fuel pressure-related faults (e.g., 2880) stored in the Engine
Control Module (DME). Also, the affected vehicles may experience reduced
engine performance ("engine failsafe mode") when the High-pressure Fuel
Pump malfunctions.
CORRECTION
In the event that the High-pressure Fuel Pump of an MY 2007, 2008 or
2009 Cooper S, Cooper S, Cooper S JCW, Convertible or Clubman S with
the N14 engine were to fail and exhibit the symptoms listed above, it should
be replaced with the improved part (P/N 13 51 7 588 879).

Prior to replacement of the HPP, make sure that the appropriate ISTA/D test
plan (B1214_M_KHDR_H_Fuel high pressure system) was performed and
completed with the diagnostic code included the warranty claim. Always
use the current version of ISTA/D (currently 2.21 or higher).
