me! Just had my 2020 R-Design into the dealer today - bought it two months ago and yesterday brake failure came on, along with skid warning, abs. Went away on it’s own after being turned off all day (while I was at work). Apparently “communication blip” between modules. Software update installed by dealer. We shall see....Receiving an error msg on DASH:
BRAKE FAILURE
STOP SAFELY
Displays on dash ... intermittently then goes away. Was told that it could be a brake sensor problem or battery issue. FRUSTRATED!! HELP
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
Please keep me up-to-date. Will let you know what I find
Paige... Congratulations on your purchase. This issue happened twice in Nov. Took my XC40 back to dealer. They said bring the vehicle back when msg is displaying again.Me as well! Everything seems to be working fine. Taking to the dealership tomorrow morning. Just got the car 3 weeks ago! I am kind of annoyed![]()
UPDATE: After the dealer did a full software reinstall, the error has not reappeared in a week.This also happened to me this past week. The Brake System failure message came on and stability system error. Brought it to the dealer and they installed new software, which seems like the default fix for 99% of the issues I have had with my XC40 (and there have been a lot) so I’m waiting to see if it actually fixes the issue.
Did you wash it in the meantime?UPDATE: After the dealer did a full software reinstall, the error has not reappeared in a week.
I did hear back from the service center who advised me it was probably "a blip" since it went away after a power down, and that they'd "just seen another like it...with no codes". I guess I will play the will it/won't it game for a while now.I've reached out to my service center to see if they advise bringing it in or not as turning off the car for two minutes cleared the message and it didn't come back on the remainder of my drive.

I have just had the same problem, Volvo main dealer in Gloucester stated that I do not have a hard brake failure/problem. I just assumed it was a one off glitch??? Looks like there may be a wider problem with the software / engine management Controller.?
