Stellantis Australia is recalling more than 500 examples of its Fiat Ducato van due to an issue with its autonomous emergency braking system.
“Due to a software issue, the Automatic Emergency Brake (AEB) function may not reactivate when manually turned off and then on during the same ignition cycle,” the company says in its recall notice.
“In addition, the AEB icon may not illuminate to alert the driver as intended.
“A loss of safety systems such as AEB could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
