    It has been identified that due to a software error the traction motor inverter may incorrectly diagnose communication between the inverter and the transmission control module (TCM). This can cause the inverter system to suddenly shut down. If the vehicle is being driven in Electric Vehicle (EV i.e. engine off) the power to the electric motor may be cut resulting in the vehicle coming to a sudden stop.

    Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to install new software for the traction motor inverter control module.

    15 Dec 2014 · R/2014/121

    It has been identified that due to an issue during the casting process of the front of the transmission casing the casting may become cracked during the release phase of the operation. If the vehicle is driven at high speed in this condition the crack can grow and cause a vibration. In an extreme case the transmission may detach from the vehicle.

As a result the ECM may not operate as intended and the vehicle may accelerate gradually without the driver operating the throttle pedal. However this acceleration can be overridden by application of the brakes.

    Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to install new software of the ECM.
