## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, an issue in the software used by the Electronic Control Unit responsible for managing the Forward Collision Mitigation \(FCM\) feature may cause it to not operate as intended alerting the driver to brake unnecessarily in certain situations.  If the driver attempts to brake while FCM is also activating, the vehicle may decelerate rapidly.  This could create a situation where another motorist does not anticipate a preceding vehicle’s sudden brake application or stop, creating the risk of a rear\-end collision causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the software for the Forward Collision Mitigation system.
