| Recurring |
unknown |
<Article 127327> does not mention any previous or recurring software failure incidents at Subaru Corp or at other organizations. Therefore, the information about the software failure incident happening again at one_organization or multiple_organization is unknown. |
| Phase (Design/Operation) |
design |
(a) The software failure incident in this case is related to the design phase. The article mentions that Subaru discovered a problem with the sensor in the CB18 engine used in its Forester, Outback, and Levorg models. This indicates that the malfunction was due to a design flaw in the engine sensor, which causes the engine to fail to start and triggers a warning sign on the dashboard. The issue was identified in the development phase of the system, leading to the suspension of shipment and production of models with that engine [127327].
(b) There is no specific information provided in the article about the software failure incident being related to the operation phase or due to factors introduced by the operation or misuse of the system. |
| Boundary (Internal/External) |
within_system |
(a) within_system: The software failure incident in this case is within the system. The article mentions that Subaru Corp suspended shipment of some of its automobile models due to an engine sensor malfunction in the CB18 engine used in its Forester, Outback, and Levorg models. This malfunction causes the engine to fail to start and triggers a warning sign on the dashboard, indicating an internal issue with the engine sensor [127327]. |
| Nature (Human/Non-human) |
non-human_actions |
(a) The software failure incident in this case is related to a malfunction in an engine sensor in Subaru's CB18 engine used in its Forester, Outback, and Levorg models. This malfunction causes the engine to fail to start and triggers a warning sign on the dashboard. This issue is a result of a non-human action, specifically a fault in the sensor itself, rather than being introduced by human actions [127327]. |
| Dimension (Hardware/Software) |
hardware |
(a) The software failure incident in the Subaru article is related to hardware. The article mentions an engine sensor malfunction in the CB18 engine used in Subaru's Forester, Outback, and Levorg models. This malfunction causes the engine to fail to start and triggers a warning sign on the dashboard. The issue is specifically with the sensor in the engine, which is a hardware component [127327]. |
| Objective (Malicious/Non-malicious) |
non-malicious |
The software failure incident reported in Article 127327 is non-malicious. The incident was related to an engine sensor malfunction in Subaru's CB18 engine used in certain models, causing the engine to fail to start and a warning sign to flash on the dashboard. The company discovered the problem with the sensor and decided to suspend shipment of the affected models and temporarily halt production. There is no indication in the article that the malfunction was caused by malicious intent; rather, it appears to be a technical issue with the sensor [127327]. |
| Intent (Poor/Accidental Decisions) |
unknown |
<Article 127327> The software failure incident reported in the article is related to an engine sensor malfunction in Subaru's CB18 engine used in its Forester, Outback, and Levorg models. The malfunction with the sensor causes the engine to fail to start and a warning sign to flash on the dashboard. The article does not provide specific information indicating whether the software failure incident was due to poor decisions or accidental decisions. Therefore, the intent behind the software failure incident is unknown based on the information provided in the article.</Article 127327> |
| Capability (Incompetence/Accidental) |
accidental |
(a) The software failure incident in the Subaru article does not mention any specific details or indications that point towards development incompetence as the cause of the engine sensor malfunction. The issue with the sensor causing the engine to fail to start and a warning sign to flash on the dashboard is described as a technical problem rather than a result of incompetence.
(b) The software failure incident in the Subaru article is attributed to an accidental malfunction in the engine sensor used in the Forester, Outback, and Levorg models. The spokesperson mentioned that the problem with the sensor causes the engine to fail to start and triggers a warning sign on the dashboard. This indicates that the failure was accidental and not intentionally introduced. |
| Duration |
temporary |
The software failure incident reported in Article 127327 is temporary. Subaru Corp suspended shipment of some of its automobile models due to an engine sensor malfunction in the CB18 engine used in its Forester, Outback, and Levorg models. The malfunction causes the engine to fail to start and a warning sign to flash on the dashboard. The company plans to temporarily halt production of the models with the affected engine until the issue is resolved, with an estimated 2-1/2 months before shipment is resumed. This indicates that the software failure incident is temporary and not permanent [127327]. |
| Behaviour |
crash, value, other |
(a) crash: The software failure incident in the Subaru vehicles was related to an engine sensor malfunction that caused the engine to fail to start, leading to a warning sign flashing on the dashboard. This behavior aligns with a crash as the system lost its state and did not perform its intended function of starting the engine [127327].
(b) omission: The article does not mention any instances of the system omitting to perform its intended functions at an instance [127327].
(c) timing: The article does not indicate any issues related to the system performing its intended functions too late or too early [127327].
(d) value: The software failure incident in the Subaru vehicles was caused by the engine sensor malfunction, leading to the engine failing to start. This behavior aligns with a value failure as the system performed its intended function incorrectly [127327].
(e) byzantine: The article does not mention any inconsistencies or erratic behavior in the system's responses or interactions, indicating that the failure was not due to a byzantine behavior [127327].
(f) other: The other behavior exhibited by the software failure incident in the Subaru vehicles was the flashing of a warning sign on the dashboard when the engine failed to start due to the sensor malfunction. This behavior could be categorized as an anomaly or abnormal response of the system [127327]. |
