What's wrong?
The electronic parking brake on the 2021-2022 Xos SV05 is the system that holds the vehicle in place after the driver shifts into park. Its dual caliper controller tells the brake calipers when to engage and release. When it works correctly, the parking brake applies without the driver needing to manage the calipers directly.
On affected SV05 vehicles, the controller has two problems. Missing electrical noise filtering allows interference from the AC compressor ground circuit to disrupt messages between the parking brake controller and the vehicle controller. The controller software also fails to send the correct failure codes when a caliper problem occurs. This means the electronic parking brake fails to engage or release as intended, while the vehicle does not give the driver a clear failure message.
Before the software update, there is no reliable warning sign before failure. The updated vehicle software adds a message that tells the driver to engage the manual parking brake any time the vehicle is placed into park.
