Recall 2014120

The issue

On certain vehicles, due to a software malfunction, activation of the high beam headlamps when the fog lamps are illuminated would cause the fog lamps to turn off for 10 seconds then turn back on automatically. This could produce unexpected fog lamp behaviour, excessive glare and/or impair the visibility of drivers in oncoming traffic, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, en raison d'une panne logicielle, l'actionnement des projecteurs de faisceau-route lorsque les phares antibrouillard sont allumés causerait la mise hors tension des phares antibrouillard pendant 10 secondes puis leur allumage automatique. Ceci pourrait produire un comportement inattendu des phares antibrouillard, un éblouissement excessif et/ou nuire à la visibilité des conducteurs venant en sens inverse, et ainsi augmenter les risques d'accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront mettre à jour le logiciel du véhicule.
