BMW · Passenger cars - Mini Coupe John Cooper Works and Mini Clubman John Cooper Works

The product poses a risk of injuries because in certain cars 16 inch brake discs have been fitted instead of 17 inch ones. Thus, in case of intensive brake usage, vapour bubbles in the brake fluid may appear, reducing the braking effect and causing the risk of an accident.
