The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened up the investigations on the 2007-08 Honda Fit and 2004-2005 Mini Cooper, Cooper S, and the 2005 Mini Cooper convertible.
NHTSA’s Office of Defect Investigations has received eight complaints about the Honda Fit owners that the low beam headlights have stopped working. A few reports replacing the wiring harness connector and headlight switch to fix the problem.
The Office of Defect Investigations has also received 54 complaints about the Mini Cooper alleging the loss of power steering support while driving the vehicle. If the power assists stops working, more force is needed to push the vehicle and drivers also reported the difficulty trying to control their vehicle. A failure of the power steering pump may be the cause of the some problem.
Still no injuries have been reported as a result of these complaints. By opening up an inquiry, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will determine the coverage of the problem and whether Honda and Mini should issue a recall to provide a fix.
