The Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) controls the vehicle's Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), Electronic Stability Control System (ESC), and Auto-Hold features, among other related functions. The HECU in these vehicles may have been produced by the supplier with a condition that can result in an internal brake fluid leak. If an internal brake fluid leak occurs, the vehicle's EPB light, ABS light, ESC light, Auto-Hold light, and/or Forward Collision Avoidance Assist light may illuminate, or a Smart Cruise Control (SCC) warning message may appear on the instrument cluster. If this occurs, EPB, ESC, and Auto Hold functions may be disabled.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 51 complaints in the driver assistance category.
