Filing in context
The Computer (steering) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 7 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 19 Daihatsu notifications from 2010 in this archive.

Defect
The control software for the electric power steering (EPS) control computer is incorrect. When the vehicle is driven at high speed over rumble strips installed for lane departure warning, the computer may misinterpret the resulting vibration and shut down EPS assist. This causes the steering to become heavy.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the entire steering column tube assembly with one incorporating a corrected/revised part control computer.
