Koenigsegg is recalling all seven CC850 hypercars delivered in the United States after an investigation found that the electronic parking brake may not engage when the engine is running and the transmission is in Reverse.

The issue came to light after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received a report of a CC850 rolling away in the U.S. on October 12. The driver had exited the vehicle while it was running and in Reverse. The recall notice does not indicate whether the incident caused any damage.

Parking brake behavior prompted investigation

Koenigsegg began investigating the matter after receiving the report. Following a week of internal testing, the Swedish manufacturer found that the parking brake does not activate normally under those conditions. The brake can be engaged only by continuously holding down its button.

The NHTSA notes that this situation falls outside the scope of its static parking brake tests. As a result, the recall appears to have been initiated voluntarily by Koenigsegg rather than because the CC850 was found to violate a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.

Software update planned for seven vehicles

The affected CC850s were manufactured between September 28, 2025, and August 2, 2026. Each vehicle will receive a free over-the-air software update intended to correct the parking brake issue.

Owners who do not want the update performed remotely can instead take their hypercar to an authorized Koenigsegg dealership, where the software will be installed on site.

CC850 uses a dual-mode transmission

The CC850 is distinguished within Koenigsegg’s lineup by its Lightspeed transmission, a nine-speed unit that combines automated and manual operation. The system uses three shafts and seven clutches, and can be controlled with a conventional clutch pedal and gated manual-style shifter. It can also operate as a conventional automatic transmission.

Ferrari has taken a similar approach with the manual transmission offered for the 12Cilindri, although its system functions as an addition to an existing dual-clutch transmission.
