Register
Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

フロントモーターを制御するフロントパワードライブユニット(FPDU)及びリヤモーターを制御するリヤモーターコントロールユニット(RMCU)の制御プログラムが不適切なため、車両起動時にFPDU及びRMCUがモーターの位相を誤認識し、起動後に発進不能となる場合がある。また、この状態で一定以上アクセルペダルを踏み込むと、車両が急に動き出すおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、FPDU及びRMCUのプログラムを対策品に書き換える。

The two passages above are quoted in Japanese because that is the language the ministry published them in. This site keeps the wording a register had when it was read, and does not translate a safety notice.

This site gathered the record, grouped it by notification number and set it in English around the ministry's own words; the notice itself is unaltered.
