Koenigsegg recalls all US‑delivered CC850 hypercars over parking‑brake fault

Koenigsegg has recalled every one of the seven CC850 hypercars sold in the United States for the 2025‑2026 model years because an electronic parking‑brake defect may allow the car to roll away. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued the recall notice after an owner reported that the brake failed to engage when the car was put in reverse with the engine running, stepped out, and the vehicle moved on its own. The defect occurs under certain conditions when the electronic system does not apply the brake fully. Koenigsegg will correct the problem by delivering a software update to the parking‑brake control module over‑the‑air at no cost to owners. Affected owners can download the update directly to their cars or visit an authorized dealer for installation. The recall affects only the seven CC850 units delivered to the U.S., a tiny batch compared with typical automaker recalls that involve thousands of vehicles. ## Context Electronic parking brakes are increasingly used in modern cars to replace mechanical levers, and manufacturers often fix software‑related issues through over‑the‑air updates, allowing rapid, cost‑free repairs without a service‑center visit.
