Software remedy: failure is not clearly caused by a software defect, but a software flash or replacement is identified as the appropriate defect remedy.
Software integration: failure that results from software interfacing with other components or systems in a vehicle.
Software defect: includes the failure of components related to a defect in operating software.
Integrated electronics components (IECs): encompasses the failure of electrical components due to physical defect, including defects related to water intrusion, wiring failure, etc. (these defects are not caused or fixed by software).
