THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULB HARNESS MELTED. THIS NECESSITATES THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE LIGHT ASSEMBLY UNIT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRENT PROBLEM FOR MINI FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
