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.
14V721000
SEATS
If the seatback adjustment mechanism is not fully engaged, the seatback may fold during a rear impact collision, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2015 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.
