Defect	Due to a quality defect in the servo motor position sensor installed in the integrated braking system, signal interference may occur. If signal interference occurs, the system may switch to safe mode, illuminating the brake warning light and displaying a check control message on the central monitor. Depending on the situation, the operating force required for braking may need to be increased, and the braking distance may become longer. At the same time, a recall is being issued due to the confirmed possibility that the ABS and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) functions may not operate.
Component	Other braking system components
Remedy	Replace with an integrated braking system of improved quality.
