What is wrong
Certain vehicles may experience a malfunction of the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system, which could apply a small amount of brake force for a fraction of a second, even if the brake pedal has not been depressed. If the driver applies the brakes during a malfunction, the VSA system may employ the brake assist feature, which would increase braking force, exceeding the driver’s intended input. In either instance, an unexpected and unnecessary brake application could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a partial wiring harness containing a capacitor for the VSA modulator.

| A13-026 | 2017-05-22. Service bulletin. "SERVICE BULLETIN - THERE ARE TWO POTENTIAL ISSUES THAT MAY CAUSE THE VSA BRAKING SYSTEM TO APPLY BRAKING FORCE EVEN IF THE DRIVER HAS NOT PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED UNEXPECTEDLY, IT MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. • DAMAGE TO AN INTERNAL VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT COMPONENT COULD CAUSE THE VSA SYSTEM TO MISINTERPRET THE SIGNAL AND MAY CAUSE THE VSA BRAKING SYSTEM TO UNEXPECTEDLY APPLY BRAKING FORCE. • FOR VEHICLES WITH VINS BEGINNING WITH 5FN, A GROUND BOLT MAY BE LOOSE. INCREASED RESISTANCE CAUSED BY THIS LOOSE GROUND BOLT MAY CAUSE THE VSA BRAKING SYSTEM TO UNEXPECTEDLY APPLY BRAKING FORCE." |
