Defect
The electronic steering system (Direct Adaptive Steering) contains an improperly designed initialization program. If the vehicle is parked with the wheels turned and the engine is then started, the system may miscalculate the wheel steering angle, causing a discrepancy between the steering wheel angle and the actual tire angle. As a result, returning the steering wheel to the center position does not straighten the tires, preventing the driver from launching in the intended direction. Continued operation may prevent the driver from completing intended turning maneuvers.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the electronic steering system control module with the corrected/updated software.

状況
電子制御ステアリング（ダイレクトアダプティブステアリング）において、始動時の設定プログラムが不適切なため、転舵したまま駐車しエンジンを始動した場合、タイヤ転舵角を誤演算し、ハンドル切れ角とタイヤ切れ角にズレが生じることがある。そのため、ハンドルを中立位置にしてもタイヤが直進状態に戻らず、運転者の意図した方向に発進できず、そのまま使用を続けると、意図した転回ができないおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該電子制御ステアリングのコントロールモジュールを対策プログラムに書き換える。
