  4. C-ZERO · engine may not start

    6 Apr 2016 · R/2016/073

    Due to none conformity during manufacture the resistance of the insulated base inside the Engine Control Unit (ECU) which controls the electric motor may decrease. As a result the voltage in the circuit may become unstable causing the warning light to illuminate and the driving motor power to be restricted to the fail safe control. In the worst case scenario the vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the battery may not be able to be charged.

    Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the engine ECU.

    63 vehicles · built 1 Mar 2011 to 3 Jun 2011

  8. C-ZERO · braking efficiency may be affected

    25 Sep 2014 · R/2014/110

    The brake servo pump system could develop problems with malfunction indicator lamps and audible warnings accompanied by the vacuum pump stopping. This will require the driver to apply greater force on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
