Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1119040 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 5, 2007 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Honda |
| Component | Computer (Control Unit) |
| Production period | October 2003 — August 20, 2004 |
| Vehicles affected | 27,841 units |
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。
