What are the defects?
Due to an error in the Frontal Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) software, the braking assist function may fail when the vehicle approaches a stationary vehicle or a pedestrian.
What are the hazards?
If the FCA fails to recognise a stationary vehicle or a pedestrian, the braking assist may not activate during a frontal collision, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants and other road users.
