Details

Certain vehicles may have incorrect Electronic Stability Program (ESP) software installed.

In the event a driver assist system (e.g.

adaptive cruise control) initiates automatic braking and aborts again during the early stage of brake pressure increase, a low residual pressure could remain in the hydraulic brake system.

As a result, the braking system could continue applying minimal pressure with the brake pad contacting the rotor, and may heat up when driving is continued.

Constant brake pad application over longer periods of driving could lead to the brake fluid heating in the brake caliper, resulting in higher pressure in the brake system.

This could reduce brake performance, and increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

Correction: Dealers will update the software for the ESP.
