Just letting everyone know I experienced this problem yesterday for the second time since owning the car. I would start up the car and get the error message. The brake light would flash at me. I even took a picture and video to show the dealership. I asked the dealership several times about this issue over the past 3 weeks and they told me my car was not part of the recall and all my software has been updated.
The lesson I learned.... NEVER believe the service manager. ALWAYS insist that the technician look at the car. When the technician examined my car, he found the error codes in the computer and performed the software update.
This is a major problem. You don't want the parking brake to malfunction as you are going 75 MPH down the highway. The dealership told me that once they diagnosed this particular issue, they were not allowed to give me the car back until after they fixed it. That is how serious it was. It is a good thing I was persistent and forced the technician to examine the car.
