Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1133911 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 10, 2014 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Honda |
| Component | Engine Control Computer (ECU) |
| Production period | July 17, 2013 — July 2014 |
| Vehicles affected | 175,356 units |
Defect
Due to incorrect programming of the engine control computer (ECU), the estimated clutch friction characteristics learned by the ECU may deviate from the actual clutch friction characteristics. When this deviation is present and the engine is started by motor drive during EV travel mode, the motor may generate excessive drive force. As a result, vehicle speed may momentarily increase without driver intent.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the engine control computer with the corrected/updated software.

状況
エンジン制御コンピュータ（ＥＣＵ）のプログラムが不適切なため、ＥＣＵが検知し学習しているクラッチ推定摩擦特性と実クラッチ摩擦特性がずれた状態で、ＥＶ走行モードでの走行中にモータ駆動でエンジンが始動した際、モータから過大な駆動力が発生することがある。そのため、運転者が意図せず車速が一瞬増加するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、エンジン制御コンピュータを対策プログラムに書き換える。
