Defect

In the hybrid system, the fault-detection control software is incorrect. During high-load operation such as rapid acceleration from very low speed, if a boost circuit element is damaged, the system may fail to transition to fail-safe mode. As a result, a warning light illuminates, the hybrid system shuts down, and the vehicle may become inoperable.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, reprogram the fault-detection control software to the corrected specification. If a warning light illuminates due to element damage after the software update, the power converter module will be replaced at no charge.

状況

ハイブリッドシステムにおいて、異常判定時の制御プログラムが不適切なため、極低速から急加速するような高負荷走行時等に昇圧回路の素子が損傷した場合、フェールセーフモードに移行できないことがある。そのため、警告灯が点灯し、ハイブリッドシステムが停止して、走行不能となるおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、異常判定時の制御プログラムを対策仕様に修正する。当該制御プログラム修正後に素子が損傷して警告灯が点灯した場合は、電力変換器のモジュールを無償交換する。
