Filing in context

This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Other (Boarding Device) as the affected component. This filing is one of 35 Mazda notifications from 2007 in this archive.

Issue
On vehicles equipped with an auto-step, the auto-step controller software is incorrect. When the engine is off and the auto-step is extended, pressing the brake pedal two or more times per second causes the controller to incorrectly determine that the vehicle is in motion. This triggers the controller's fail-safe function and, in the worst case, the step may retract suddenly while a passenger is boarding or alighting.
Corrective action
Replace the auto-step controller on all vehicles with the corrected part.

状況
オートステップ装着車において、オートステップコントローラのプログラムが不適切なため、エンジン停止時にオートステップが張出した状態でブレーキを１秒間に２回以上踏んだ場合、車両が走行したと誤判定することがある。そのため、当該コントローラのフェールセーフ機能が働き、最悪の場合、乗降中突然当該ステップが格納されるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、オートステップコントローラを対策品と交換する。
