The electronic parking brake may not engage in reverse; the fix is a free software update.
Koenigsegg is recalling seven 2025 and 2026 CC850 cars in the United States, according to a record the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received on 21 October. The electronic parking brake may not engage properly in reverse, risking unintended movement. A free software update, over the air or at a dealer, is the remedy.
Koenigsegg is recalling seven CC850 hypercars in the United States because the electronic parking brake may fail to engage properly when the car is in reverse. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists the fault as a software problem in the parking brake control module.
The agency received the report on 21 October 2026 and filed it under campaign number 26V694.
What is affected
The recall covers certain CC850 vehicles of the 2025 and 2026 model years. The record gives the number of cars that could be affected as seven.
- Manufacturer: Koenigsegg Automotive AB
- Model: CC850, model years 2025 and 2026
- Component: electrical parking brake, control module software
- Vehicles potentially affected: 7
- Campaign number: 26V694
The risk
Koenigsegg told the regulator that a parking brake which does not engage in reverse could let the car move when it should be held still. The filing says unintended movement raises the risk of a crash or injury. The agency's record does not carry a warning telling owners to stop driving the cars or to park them outside.
The fix
The remedy is a software update to the parking brake controller, free of charge. Koenigsegg will deliver it either over the air or through a dealer. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on 29 October 2026, and owners who want to ask questions can ring the company's customer service line on 703-712-8324.
The filing lists no fault in the foundation brakes, the steering or the engine. The remedy addresses only the parking brake control software, and the record does not say how many of the seven cars, if any, have shown the problem on the road.
