The official notice
Defect
Under certain conditions, the vehicle stability control (VSC) system may not switch on when the ignition is restarted. This can happen if the driver manually turns off the VSC, depresses the brake pedal, and then turns off and restarts the vehicle while continuously depressing the brake pedal. Canadian regulations require the stability control system to be active each time that you start the vehicle.
Safety Risk
A stability control system that is switched off could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the skid control ECU software.
