Defect
The VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) unit contains an incorrect electric parking brake control program. When vehicle vibration occurs while the electric parking brake is engaged, the sensor reacts excessively and may incorrectly detect that the vehicle is moving. This causes a warning lamp to illuminate and may prevent the electric parking brake from releasing.
Corrective action
Reprogram the VDC unit control program on all vehicles with the corrected software.

状況
ＶＤＣ（ビークルダイナミクスコントロール）ユニットにおいて、電動パーキングブレーキ制御プログラムが不適切なため、電動パーキングブレーキが作動中に車両振動が入ると、センサが過敏に反応し、走行中と誤認識することがある。そのため、警告灯が点灯し、電動パーキングブレーキが解除できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ＶＤＣユニットの制御プログラムを対策プログラムに書き換える。
