Forward collision avoidance, Electrical Vehicle recall #18V620000 · 2018 · 9,166 vehicles
What's wrong: Due to incorrect software, the fcm-ECU (electronic control unit) May apply braking for longer than needed, even after a pedestrian is no longer detected.
Why it matters: If the fcm-ECU software activates the brake for longer than necessary, the driver May react by applying additional braking. The resulting rapid deceleration of the vehicle can increase the risk of a rear-end collision.
The fix: Mmna will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the fcm-ECU software with updated software, free of charge. The recall is began October 16, 2018.
