An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger car (Honda Accord Hybrid) - Repair. Due to a forward obstacle collision mitigation system defect. ■ Defective component (part name): Forward obstacle collision mitigation system. ■ Condition of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards and its cause: In the forward obstacle collision mitigation system (collision mitigation braking system), improper management of replacement parts for the cruise control unit with following-distance control resulted in some vehicles being fitted with older parts. Consequently, where protective barriers are present along the shoulder, median or similar locations, when the distance to the vehicle ahead increases, received millimeter-wave information may occasionally be misinterpreted as an obstacle ahead. Even when there is no possibility of a collision, a warning may appear on the multi-information display, an audible warning may sound, and unexpected hard braking may occur. Published 2015-11-26.
What to do now
(Recall) 3700 ■ Corrective measures: On all vehicles, reprogram the cruise control unit with following-distance control using the corrected software.
