I have my first appointment today for the recall, and I have a long list of *SOME* of the problems with cooper already, all thanks to you and others' tips on this board. I would definitely ask them to update the software. Oh, by the way, all these fixes/updates are covered by the warranty, right? I wish I could use the 'mechanical terms' to discuss (and preferably, harass! ) with the mechanic -- they are usually not very informative or as helpful to car-ignorant people like me!

Yes, your limited new car warranty should cover for any required DME software updates.

How long is the warranty coverage in Canada?

Here in the US we get 4 years/50,000 miles bumper to bumper warranty plus 3 years/36,000 miles free scheduled maintenance.
