Skoda Octavia brake light issue

My 2021 Skoda Octavia hybrid is showing a brake light failure error. 75610 km on the clock. Error memory has a fault stored. Suspect it's the brake light switch. Could be user error. Anyone seen this?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar electrical issue with my Octavia a while back. The brake light would randomly fail, and the infotainment kept throwing error messages. Is it happening intermittently, or is it constant?

Intermittent for sure. What was the root cause in your case?

Yeah, mine ended up being a faulty brake switch. The brake pedal wasn't fully returning sometimes, which triggered the error. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop to get it checked out. Vehicle safety is important.

Turns out it was just me being clumsy with the brake pedal. No cost to fix, thankfully. False alarm!
