Koenigsegg recalls all seven US CC850s over parking brake flaw

Koenigsegg is recalling all seven CC850 hypercars delivered in the US, model years 2025 and 2026, because the electronic parking brake may not hold the car when reverse is engaged and the engine is running, according to Carscoops and Road & Track.

With the engine running and reverse selected, the brake stays engaged only while the driver holds its button down. Carscoops reports the cars were built between Sept. 28, 2025 and Aug. 2, 2026.

A rollaway set off the recall

Koenigsegg learned on Oct. 12 that a CC850 had rolled away in the US after the driver got out with the engine running and reverse engaged. It opened an investigation the same day and, after a week of internal testing, decided on Oct. 19 to recall the cars.

Road & Track and Autonext report that no one was injured. Carscoops says the recall notice is silent on whether the rollaway caused any damage.

The fix is free software

Koenigsegg's remedy is an update to the parking brake control software, at no cost to owners. It goes out over the air, or through a dealer if the over-the-air update cannot be used.

The reports do not say when owners will hear from Koenigsegg. Whether CC850s delivered outside the US are affected is also unknown.

What to check before buying a CC850

The recall spans every 2025 and 2026 CC850 delivered in the US, so any one offered for sale here is covered. We have no CC850 to show with this story.

If you are shopping one, check the car's VIN in NHTSA's recall lookup and ask for written confirmation that the software update has been done. Buyers weighing other exotics in the meantime can scan today's best deals or the cars with recent price drops.
