| MLIT filing number | 2103560 |
|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | July 10, 2007 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mazda, Suzuki |
| Component | Other (Boarding Device) |
| Production period | August 2005 — January 20, 2007 |
| Vehicles affected | 19,039 units |
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。
