An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Honda N-BOX and 2 other models) - Repair. Braking system (VSA modulator) defect. ■ Defective component: Braking system (VSA modulator). ■ Details and cause of the defective structure, system or performance: In the vehicle stability control system (Vehicle Stability Assist: VSA), inappropriate settings in the air-conditioning shutdown control program may reduce the vacuum supplied to the brake booster during low-speed driving immediately after the engine starts. In addition, inappropriate settings in the brake hydraulic pressure control program, which assists brake pedal operation when the brake booster has insufficient vacuum, may prevent proper adjustment of brake hydraulic pressure during low-speed driving immediately after the engine starts. Consequently, the force required to operate the brake pedal may increase if the brake booster has insufficient vacuum or the brake hydraulic pressure cannot be properly adjusted. Published 2025-01-31.
What to do now
(Improvement campaign notification number) 711. ■ Remedial measures: Reprogram the VSA modulator with the corrective program on all vehicles.
