Defect
On vehicles equipped with a push-button start system, the starter activation control program is improper. If the shift selector is moved from P to N immediately after pressing the push-start button, the starter may seize internally. The internal seizure causes abnormal noise, and continued use may, in the worst case, prevent the engine from starting.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the starter activation control program.

状況
プッシュスタート付車のエンジン始動装置（スタータ）において、スタータ作動制御プログラムが不適切なため、プッシュスタートボタンの操作の直後に、シフトをＰからＮレンジに操作をすると、スタータ内部が焼きつくことがある。そのため、スタータ内部が固着により異音が発生し、そのまま使用を続けると、最悪の場合、エンジンが始動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、スタータ作動制御プログラムを変更する。
