Basically a software update to fix an issue with the cameras also included a software update to the brake control module. It had a bug in it and after certain conditions were met the brakes would stop working.

Thought it was interesting.

I think this is the video of the incident?

On a Volvo?!

You had to be using “B mode” in the transmission you had to be going downhill for greater than 1 minute and 40 seconds with NO pedal application. Without audio, it’s hard to tell what is happening with the video you linked. I can’t tell if they are in B mode, or not, if they have applied the pedal, or not, or if they are just driving too fast.

It’s a recall - it’s already fixed.

I don’t know too many folks using “B mode” - it’s the one pedal drive mode with stronger regenerative braking - and I find it really annoying.
