Issue

The collision mitigation brake control program in the driver assistance system is incorrect. As a result, the system may fail to correctly recognize roadside guide posts on curves or the travel direction of oncoming vehicles, causing the system to react with excessive sensitivity to these objects as potential collision targets. This may cause an unintended proximity warning to sound and the collision mitigation brake system to activate.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, the driver assistance system control program is reprogrammed.

状況

運転支援装置において、衝突被害軽減ブレーキの制御プログラムが不適切なため、カーブ路にあるガイドポストや対向車の進行方向等を正しく認識できず、システムが衝突対象として過敏に反応することがある。そのため、意図しないところで障害物との接近を知らせる警報音が鳴り、衝突被害軽減ブレーキが作動するおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、運転支援装置の制御プログラムを書き換える。
