Hazard

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) control program is inappropriate. If the vehicle operates in a manner that causes the ESP to intervene shortly after starting, the system may incorrectly self-diagnose as faulty. This causes a fault warning light to illuminate, the speedometer to stop operating, and the ESP to deactivate, which in the worst case may increase braking distance.

横滑り防止装置(ESP)において、制御プログラムが不適切なため走行開始直後に当該装置が介入するような走行を行うと、誤って故障していると自己診断することがある。そのため、故障を知らせる警告灯が点灯して速度計が作動を停止し、当該装置が作動を停止することで、最悪の場合、制動停止距離が伸びるおそれがある。

Remedy

All vehicles will have the ESP control program rewritten with the updated program.
