    Update Vehicle Software To Rectify EPAS Functionality

    Defect

    On affected vehicles operating with a software release prior to 2023.38.4 an overvoltage breakdown in the steering rack may overstress motor drive components on the printed circuit board.

Once the vehicle speed comes to a standstill a loss of steering assistance may occur and loss of steering assistance will persist when the vehicle is driven again. Manual steering without steering assistance remains available to the driver.

    Remedy

    Install modified software via an Over the Air (OTA) wireless update.
