Filing in context
The Computer (Control Unit) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 7 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 23 Honda notifications from 2007 in this archive. For scale, 1,043 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 10 months.
Defect
Due to an incorrect manufacturing process, the capacitor inside the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) control unit is damaged on some units. As a result, electrical noise generated by voltage fluctuations is not suppressed, causing the brake pedal stroke sensor to malfunction and momentarily activate brake assist. In the worst case, while the vehicle is in motion, the brake system may activate suddenly without the brake lights illuminating.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add a wiring harness with a capacitor to the VSA modulator control unit.

状況
車両挙動安定化制御システム（ビークル・スタビリティ・アシスト：ＶＳＡ）において、製造工程が不適切なため、制御ユニット内のコンデンサが損傷しているものがある。そのため、電圧変動で発生する電気ノイズが除去されず、ブレーキペダルの踏み込み量を検知するセンサが誤作動を起こすものがあり、瞬間的にブレーキアシストが作動し、最悪の場合、走行中、制動灯が点灯しないで突然ブレーキが作動するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ＶＳＡモジュレータ制御ユニットにコンデンサ付きの配線を追加する。
