15V628000
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
In the event of a vehicle crash, an air bag that does not deploy properly increases the risk of injury to the front seat passenger.
15V450000
STRUCTURE:BODY
If the side impact performance requirements are not met, rear seat passengers may be at a higher risk of injury during a crash.
15V034000
EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
The maximum weight listed on the label is incorrect (too low) and therefore does not comply with Federal Regulations.
14V789000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
If the driver exits the vehicle without the transmission being in Park, the vehicle could roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
14V619000
TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
Vibrations from driving may cause the nut to loosen, allowing the wheel to separate from the car. If the spare wheel separates from the vehicle, it could become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2014 MINI COOPERs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
