SUBJECT
DMTL Pump: Warranty Extension to 10 Years/120,000 Miles
MODEL
R55
(2008 model year)
R56
(2007 and 2008 model years)
All with the N12 engine
INFORMATION
MINI has become aware of a potential problem with the durability of the Tank Leak Diagnostic Module (DMTL)
pump on R55 (MY 2008 Clubman) and R56 (MY 2007 and 2008 Hardtop) vehicles equipped with the N12
engine.
For these vehicles, the warranty coverage for the DMTL Pump has been extended to 10 years or 120,000 miles,
whichever occurs first, as determined from the original in-service date:
This is a “warranty coverage extension,” and not a Recall or Service Action. There is no immediate repair
required, except if the MINI vehicle is currently experiencing a problem.
Customer Notification Letter of the Warranty Coverage Extension
Even though this is NOT a Recall, MINI sent “Customer Notification” letters to inform customers of the
extension of the MINI New Passenger Limited Warranty for the specific component listed above.
Sample letters are attached.
To assist you in identifying eligible vehicles, the DCSnet Warranty Vehicle Inquiry has been updated. Please
select the “Vehicle Comment” button to display the extended coverage information.
SITUATION
On affected vehicles, the Tank Leak Diagnostic Module (DMTL) pump can fail.
Some vehicles will have the Service Engine Soon lamp illuminated, but the vehicle’s drivability and engine
performance will not be reduced by this DMTL pump malfunction.
