Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1133912 |
|---|---|
| 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), excessive motor drive force may be generated in two scenarios: while the transmission is engaging gear after the shift lever is moved to D or R from a stop during engine drive mode, or when the vehicle enters a steep slope slowly in EV travel mode, briefly stops while the engine starts, and the accelerator pedal is heavily depressed. In either case, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly.
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、エンジン走行モードでの停車中にシフトレバーをＤまたはＲに操作して発進する際のギヤの噛み合い動作の間や、ＥＶ走行モードで急勾配の坂道にゆっくり進入し、一時停止してエンジンが始動した時、アクセルペダルを強く踏込んでいると、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、車両が急発進するおそれがある。
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。
