Defect
In e-POWER and electric vehicles, insufficient evaluation of the motor output control software during development introduced a programming error in the Vehicle Control Module. If a specific driver input is made immediately after ending cruise control operation—including Intelligent Cruise Control and ProPilot—unintended acceleration may occur.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the Vehicle Control Module with corrected software.
