Spotlight Automotive Recalls 714 Electric MINIs Over a Mirror That Can Fall Off

Spotlight Automotive has filed a recall covering 714 domestically produced electric MINIs in China, spanning three model lines: the MINI Aceman (39 units), the MINI JCW (42 units) and the MINI Cooper (633 units). The filing, number S2026M0113V, was made with China\u2019s State Administration for Market Regulation and reported on November 6.

The vehicles suffer from a manufacturing flaw that can compromise the adhesive bond between the interior rearview mirror bracket and the windshield. The mirror can loosen and obstruct the driver\u2019s view, and in extreme cases it may detach entirely, raising the risk of injury to occupants.

Spotlight Automotive has commissioned BMW (China) Automotive Trading Ltd. to replace the windshield assembly on affected vehicles to eliminate the safety risk. The campaign is not an isolated incident: it expands a previous recall of 315 electric MINIs announced on July 24, 2026, in both scope and corrective measures.

Spotlight Automotive is a 50:50 joint venture between Great Wall Motor and BMW Group, and the first global EV partnership of its kind for the German automaker. Owners of affected cars should expect to be contacted about a free windshield assembly replacement.
