Issue

The Smart Brake Support (SBS) control program in the vehicle control computer is incorrect. As a result, the system may fail to correctly recognize vehicles stopped on the shoulder of an S-curve or large road signs. This causes the system to issue an audible proximity warning and display a warning message on the instrument display despite no actual collision risk. In the worst case, the collision mitigation brake system activates, applying sudden braking.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, the SBS control program in the vehicle control computer is reprogrammed with the corrected/updated software. On vehicles where the SBS activation setting specification changes as a result, the owner's manual is updated and the instrument cluster program is also reprogrammed at the same time.

状況

車両制御コンピュータにおいて、スマート・ブレーキ・サポート(SBS)の制御プログラムが不適切なため、S字路の路肩に停車した車両や大きな道路標識などを正しく認識できないことがある。そのため、衝突の可能性がないにもかかわらず障害物との接近を知らせる警報音が鳴り、ディスプレイに警告表示が出て、最悪の場合、衝突被害軽減ブレーキが作動し、急制動がかかるおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、車両制御コンピュータのSBS制御プログラムを対策プログラムに修正する。なお、一部の車両はSBS作動設定の仕様が変更になるため、取扱説明書の変更、メータのプログラム変更を同時に実施する。
