Defect
A defective communication program in the combination meter prevents transmission and reception of communication signals. This causes the multi-information display to show system fault warnings for the Advanced Smart City Brake Support and related systems, rendering those systems inoperative. Additionally, when the operator switches to camera image display, the center display fails to show the camera feed, making it impossible to confirm the vehicle's immediate front, left side, and surrounding areas. This condition may not conform to the Safety Standards.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the combination meter communication program with the corrected updated software.
