Recall 2014529

The issue

On certain vehicles equipped with Eco-Roll, which allows the transmission to disengage from the engine in certain situations to conserve fuel, a defect in the software may prevent the drivetrain from reengaging when coming out of Eco-Roll. This could occur without prior warning and under certain conditions, extend stopping distances, 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 munis du système Eco-Roll, qui permet à la boîte de vitesses de se désenclencher du moteur dans certaines situations pour économiser le carburant, un défaut dans le logiciel pourrait empêcher le group motopropulseur de se réenclencher en sortant du mode Eco-Roll. Cela pourrait se produire subitement et, dans certaines conditions, augmenter les distances de freinage, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'un accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront mettre à jour le logiciel du véhicule.
