## 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.
