Defect
On vehicles equipped with a 7-speed DCT automatic transmission, an error in the engine control unit (ECU) software causes the engine output to fall below the motor charging load when the accelerator is released at low vehicle speed, reducing engine speed. This may cause the engine to run rough and stall. Restart and continued driving are possible after the stall.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the engine control unit (ECU) software.

状況
７速ＤＣＴ型自動変速機を搭載した車両において、エンジン制御ユニット（ＥＣＵ）のプログラムが不適切なため、低車速でアクセルをオフにした際、エンジンにかかるモータの充電負荷よりエンジン出力が低いため、エンジン回転数が低下することがある。そのため、エンジンの回転が不安定になりエンストするおそれがある。（停止後の再起動及び走行は可能）
改善措置
全車両、エンジン制御ユニット（ＥＣＵ）のプログラムを修正する。
