Honda has notified the government of improvement measures based on recalls for more than 110,000 vehicles, saying that there is a risk that automatic braking will not work due to a malfunction in the program of the driving support device installed in the small car "Fit".
The target of improvement measures is more than 117,000 Honda "Fit" manufactured from January to February last year.
According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the target vehicle is equipped with a driving support device and a camera that recognizes obstacles in front is attached to the upper part of the windshield, but there are cases where the camera does not start due to a program defect. That is.
If the camera does not start, the automatic braking function will not operate, but the driver may misidentify it with the indicator light indicating that it will operate on the meter part.
So far, no reports or accidents have been confirmed from users, but when we were conducting tests to improve the driving support device in-house, it was found that there was a problem.
"Improvement measures" is a system based on recalls that notify the national government when there is a safety problem even though it meets national safety standards, and Honda has decided to respond free of charge at dealers nationwide. ..
