Filing in context
This filing is one of 29 Mitsubishi notifications from 2023 in this archive. For scale, 1,360 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 9 months.
Issue
In the pedal misapplication collision prevention assist system, the control program is designed to release the low-speed acceleration suppression function immediately upon deactivation. When the suppression function ends while the accelerator pedal is significantly depressed, a sharp change in acceleration force may occur. This abrupt change may cause the driver to perceive a sudden and unexpected surge in vehicle acceleration.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the ADAS ECU (Advanced Driver Assistance System ECU) control program is reprogrammed to a corrected specification that produces a gradual acceleration transition.

This filing lists 1 type code(s). A vehicle is affected if its chassis number falls within one of the ranges below.

状況
踏み間違い衝突防止アシストにおいて、低速加速抑制機能が終了すると、即座に制御が解除されるプログラムとなっているため、低速加速抑制機能の作動が終了したタイミングで、アクセルペダルの踏み込み量が多いと加速力変化が大きくなることがある。そのため、運転者の操作感覚との差から危険を感じることがある。
改善措置
全車両、加速変化が緩やかになるようＡＤＡＳ※１ ＥＣＵの制御プログラムを対策仕様に書き替える。 ※１ Ａｄｖａｎｃｅｄ Ｄｒｉｖｅｒ Ａｓｓｉｓｔａｎｃｅ Ｓｙｓｔｅｍ（先進運転支援システム）
