Filing in context
This filing is one of 50 Mitsubishi notifications from 2018 in this archive. For scale, 1,219 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 4 months.
Issue
In the collision damage mitigation brake system, the control software for the control unit is incorrect, causing the brake activation duration to be longer than necessary when a pedestrian with collision potential is detected ahead. This may induce unintended hard braking by the driver in response to the unnecessary braking input.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the collision damage mitigation brake system control unit software to the corrected specification.
