What's wrong?
The electronic parking brake on affected Xos SA01 and SV05 vehicles is the powered parking brake system that helps hold the vehicle when it is parked. Bolts and brackets secure the brake hardware at the actuator and piston sides of that system. When the driver selects park, the system engages and keeps the vehicle from moving, while the manual parking brake remains the backup method for securing it.
On these vehicles, the electronic parking brake design was wrong for this application. Excessive friction between a bolt and a bracket can loosen one or both nuts that hold the hardware to the bracket. Once that hardware loosens, the parking brake can lose calibration and malfunction, including failing to engage or failing to release.
The driver gets a warning if the electronic parking brake cannot engage, with instructions to use the manual parking brake to secure the vehicle. If it cannot disengage, the vehicle shows a stop fault, the vehicle is immobilized, and a service light comes on.
Who's affected?
SA01 appears for 2021, while SV05 appears for both 2021 and 2022, all tied to the parking brake.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Electronic parking brake failure leaves the vehicle at risk of rolling away unless it is in park and the manual park brake is engaged, increasing the risk of a crash. If the EPB warning appears, engage the manual park brake to secure the vehicle and schedule service. Repair is free at any franchised Xos dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Xos technician replaces the affected parking brake hardware, including the loose bolt and bracket parts tied to the electronic parking brake system, and updates the vehicle software. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the manufacturer warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected vehicles remain under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
