| Recurring |
unknown |
(a) The article does not mention any previous incidents of a similar software failure within Toyota or with its products and services. Therefore, there is no evidence of this specific software failure incident happening again at Toyota.
(b) The article does not provide information about similar incidents happening at other organizations or with their products and services. Hence, there is no indication of this specific software failure incident occurring again at multiple organizations. |
| Phase (Design/Operation) |
design |
(a) The software failure incident in the article can be attributed to the design phase. The issue with the backup camera in the Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid models was traced back to a damaged electrical connector that occurred during a part check, where one of the pins on the audio display unit may have bent in a way that affects the backup camera. This design flaw led to the backup camera not activating when the driver selects the reverse gear, as it's supposed to [88663]. |
| Boundary (Internal/External) |
within_system |
(a) within_system: The software failure incident related to the backup camera issue in the Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid was traced back to a damaged electrical connector within the vehicle's audio display unit. Specifically, one of the pins on the audio display unit may have bent in a way that affects the backup camera functionality when the driver selects the reverse gear. This issue originates from within the system of the vehicle itself, leading to the backup camera not activating as intended [88663]. |
| Nature (Human/Non-human) |
non-human_actions |
(a) The software failure incident in the article is related to a non-human action. The issue with the backup camera in the Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid models was traced back to a damaged electrical connector, specifically a bent pin on the audio display unit. This physical damage to the connector led to the backup camera not activating properly when the driver selected reverse gear, indicating a failure introduced without human participation [88663]. |
| Dimension (Hardware/Software) |
hardware |
(a) The software failure incident in the article is related to hardware. Toyota's recall of the 2019 RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid is due to a fault in the backup camera system, specifically traced back to a damaged electrical connector and a bent pin on the audio display unit affecting the backup camera functionality [88663]. |
| Objective (Malicious/Non-malicious) |
non-malicious |
(a) The articles do not mention any malicious intent related to the software failure incident. The issue with the backup camera in the Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid models is attributed to a damaged electrical connector and a bent pin on the audio display unit, which affects the activation of the backup camera when the driver selects reverse gear. This indicates a non-malicious software failure incident [88663]. |
| Intent (Poor/Accidental Decisions) |
|
The software failure incident related to the backup camera issue in the Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid models does not indicate any specific poor decisions or accidental decisions that led to the fault. The issue was traced back to a damaged electrical connector, specifically a bent pin on the audio display unit, which affected the backup camera functionality when the driver selected reverse gear. This issue seems to be more related to a manufacturing or design flaw rather than poor or accidental decisions [88663]. |
| Capability (Incompetence/Accidental) |
accidental |
(a) The software failure incident in the article is not related to development incompetence. The issue with the backup camera in the Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid was traced back to a damaged electrical connector, specifically a bent pin on the audio display unit that affects the backup camera functionality. This issue was not due to lack of professional competence but rather a physical fault in the connector [88663].
(b) The software failure incident in the article is more aligned with an accidental failure. The backup camera issue in the Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid was not intentional but rather a result of a damaged electrical connector, specifically a bent pin on the audio display unit that affected the backup camera functionality. This issue was accidental in nature rather than a deliberate act of sabotage or malice [88663]. |
| Duration |
temporary |
(a) The software failure incident in this case appears to be temporary rather than permanent. The issue with the backup camera in the Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid models is attributed to a damaged electrical connector causing the backup camera not to activate when the driver selects reverse gear. This specific issue affects a limited number of vehicles (less than 1% of the models) manufactured between May 27, 2019, and July 27, 2019. Toyota is addressing this issue through a recall campaign where affected vehicles will receive a new audio display unit free of charge, indicating that the failure is not permanent but rather a temporary issue that can be rectified through a hardware replacement process [88663]. |
| Behaviour |
omission |
(a) crash: The software failure incident in the article does not involve a crash where the system loses state and does not perform any of its intended functions. The issue with the backup camera in the Toyota RAV4 models is related to a damaged electrical connector causing the backup camera not to activate when the driver selects the reverse gear [88663].
(b) omission: The software failure incident can be categorized as an omission where the system omits to perform its intended functions at an instance(s). In this case, the backup camera fails to display on the interior touchscreen as it's supposed to when the driver selects the reverse gear due to the damaged electrical connector issue [88663].
(c) timing: The software failure incident is not related to timing, where the system performs its intended functions correctly but too late or too early. The issue with the backup camera in the Toyota RAV4 models is more about the camera not activating when it should rather than a timing-related problem [88663].
(d) value: The software failure incident is not about the system performing its intended functions incorrectly. The issue with the backup camera in the Toyota RAV4 models is more about the camera not activating at all when the driver selects the reverse gear due to the damaged electrical connector [88663].
(e) byzantine: The software failure incident is not characterized by a byzantine behavior where the system behaves erroneously with inconsistent responses and interactions. The issue with the backup camera in the Toyota RAV4 models is more straightforward, related to a specific hardware fault causing the camera not to activate as intended [88663].
(f) other: The software failure incident does not exhibit any other behavior outside of the options provided. It is a specific issue with the backup camera system in the Toyota RAV4 models caused by a damaged electrical connector affecting the camera's activation when the reverse gear is selected [88663]. |
