An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger car (Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV) - Repair. Defect in the device that suppresses sudden acceleration caused by pedal misapplication. Defective part (component name): Other (device that suppresses sudden acceleration caused by pedal misapplication). Condition and cause of the structure, equipment, or performance deemed defective: The pedal misapplication collision prevention assist is programmed to release control immediately when the low-speed acceleration suppression function ends. Consequently, if the accelerator pedal is depressed substantially when that function ends, there may be a large change in acceleration force. The difference from the response the driver expects from their operation may therefore make the driver feel in danger. Published 2023-05-11.
What to do now
(Improvement measure notification number) 664. Corrective measures: On all vehicles, rewrite the ADAS (*1) ECU control program with a corrected version so that acceleration changes more gradually. *1 Advanced Driver Assistance System (advanced driver assistance system).
