Hazard

The acceleration sensor that detects the operation of the hydraulic-controlled front suspension may have improper solder processing on the circuit board, potentially preventing accurate measurement of vehicle height changes. This can cause incorrect signals to be sent to the control unit, resulting in vehicle height and suspension stiffness varying regardless of road surface conditions.

Remedy

All vehicles will be inspected for the sensor in question, and any defective units will be replaced with new ones.
