An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Honda N-WGN and others) - Repair. Braking system defects. ■ Defective components: ① Braking system (electric parking brake actuator). ② Braking system (spring package). ■ Conditions and causes of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: ① In the electric parking brake, the crimp terminals at the motor wiring connections inside the actuator are insufficiently crimped, or the motor commutator and brushes were improperly manufactured. If driving vibration temporarily increases contact resistance inside the motor, the motor circuit open-circuit detection signal may be disrupted, causing VSA to detect an abnormality and determine that a fault has occurred. Consequently, warning lights and warning displays may illuminate, and the parking brake may fail to apply or may become impossible to release. ② In the electric parking brake, the operating stroke of the spring package used to expand and retract the drum brake shoes is improperly specified. When the parking brake is released, the spring package may interfere with the shoe spreader body, increasing the motor load. Consequently, the motor current may exceed the threshold, causing VSA to detect an abnormality, warning lights and warning displays to illuminate, and the parking brake to fail to apply. Published 2019-12-12.
What to do now
(Recall) 4622 ■ Corrective measures: ① On all vehicles, replace the left and right electric parking brake assemblies with improved parts and reprogram the VSA modulator's motor circuit open-circuit detection program. ② On all vehicles, replace the left and right electric parking brake assemblies with improved parts.
