NX300h break module software recall

[mjafin]

Just got a letter in mail about a break module software glitch recall. Anyone else?

Nope. Have you had any strange brake behaviour? Mine sometimes sound as if they are struggling to release on starting the car and moving off. I went to Lexus and they had a listen and said it's normal.

Hmm haven't had or paid attention to that.

The letter says "..due to the improper programming of the brake control module, there is a possibility that the parking brake may not be set automatically when the system is deactivated under certain conditions. If this occurs, and the transmission is left in a gear other than Park, the vehicle could creep forward or backward increasing the risk of crash."

Whatever that means.

To me it means the automatic parking brake is not coming on, and unless you have the car in Park it'll roll down the hill. [emoji15]

Hi all,

yes, I've just had the letter about the software update relating to the brake too.

Got mine this morning..

I'm beginning to feel left out! Although they do know I'm coming out of it end of next month so maybe they haven't bothered writing to me.

Should be coming. It's a worldwide recall 

Doesnt mean that it happens, it only happens in certain occasions such as when removing the seat belt
