A total of 5809 Mini Classics produced between
August 1996 and January 1999 and registered in the UK are being recalled over a
concern associated with the rear wheel bearings.
Some isolated reports have been received that identify the possibility of
premature wheel bearing wear as a result of water ingress. Although such a
condition would normally be detected during routine servicing, the recall is
being instigated to minimise customer concern. If left unchecked, the
issue could lead to failure of the bearing assembly, although related noise and
vibration would make this easily detectable by the driver.
Owners of models in the affected VIN range are being informed by letter today
and are requested to contact their local MG Rover dealership who will arrange
for the rear wheel bearings to be replaced free of charge.
The recall has been organised in accordance with the 'Code of Practice'
concerning vehicle safety issues drawn up by the Vehicle Inspectorate and the
Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
