Details

On certain vehicles, while cornering under conditions where Electronic Stability Program (ESP) activation may not be needed, a sensitive ESP may cause the engine to reduce power and the brake at one of the wheels to be applied without brake pedal application by the driver.

This may cause the vehicle to slow and may affect the path that the vehicle is traveling.

Brake application caused by inadvertent ESP activation may result in a crash.

Correction: Dealers will reprogram the ESP Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU).
