Defect
The controller for the automated mechanical transmission contains an incorrect control program. When the vehicle is on a downhill grade with the engine stopped via the idling stop function and the driver shifts from D range to R range, the automatic brake system that assists re-departure after an idling stop cannot be released. As a result, the brakes remain applied and the vehicle may become inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the automated mechanical transmission controller with the corrected/updated software.
