German automaker BMW has been fined $40 million by U.S. regulators for failing to issue timely recalls of Mini Cooper vehicles that did not meet crash protection standards.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced the fine in a consent order Monday. The order results from an investigation into whether the company failed to issue a recall within five days of learning that 2014 and 2015 Mini Cooper models failed to meet federal standards for side-impact crash protection.
