Hazard

The program calculating particulate matter accumulation within the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is deficient. Continued operation under high load with low engine RPM may prevent proper DPF active regeneration (combustion removal of collected particulate matter), resulting in excessive particulate accumulation, engine malfunction, and in severe cases, stalling with inability to restart.
Show original (日本語)
DPF(ディーゼル粒子状物質除去装置)内部の粒子状物質堆積量を計算するプログラムが不適切なため、高負荷でエンジン回転の低い状態で使用を続けると、DPFの自動再生(捕集した粒子状物質の燃焼除去)が適切に行われず、多量の粒子状物質が堆積してエンジンが不調となり、最悪の場合、エンストして再始動不能となるおそれがある。

Remedy

Reprogram the deficient software in all vehicles. Additionally, inspect DPF internal particulate matter accumulation levels and replace the entire DPF assembly with new units for any vehicles exceeding replacement thresholds.

全車両、当該プログラムを変更する。また、DPF内部の粒子状物質堆積量を点検し、交換基準を超えているものはDPF一式を新品と交換する。
