"Due to a calibration issue within the Vehicle Control Module (VCM), when driving at low speeds the vehicle may falsely detect reflective objects such as metal walls, barriers or similar objects on the side of the road as an approaching object," the carmaker said in its recall notice.
"This may trigger an unintended brake activation.
"Unintended brake activation could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users."
