KJ-0125-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:54

On certain vehicles, the brake stroke sensor in the brake assist system (the system for helping the driver in emergency braking situations by automatically increasing braking pressure) is defective in manufacturing, and therefore it may cause the brake assist to be activated in a normal braking situation. If this happens, the applied braking force can be more than expected by the driver.

Case Number:

Correction: 
The serial/lot number on the brake stroke sensor should be checked, and if it is under 8C23 (manufactured on 23rd March 1998), the sensor should be replaced with a non-defective one. Note: For the manufacturer's number, the first digit indicates what year it was made in and it is the least significant digit of the year, the second indicates the month (A for January, B for February, and so on), and the third and forth indicate the day.
Identification:
