Anyone else have an issue with their brake pedal firmness being inconsistent. Sometimes when I drive it the brake pedal is unusually hard to push. Still stop the same, however it requires more force. Normally will do it after sitting and will get easier the more you drive it. Almost feels like you are loosing you boosted brakes.

Have you, or did your VIN fall under the recall for the EBB update? It can be done over the air? Just a thought. :like:

Mine is a late December '25 build, so it is supposedly outside the recall, but that is close to the symptoms I'm having. When I take it in for the latest recall, I will say something to them. Never experienced this in a brake pedal before.

Yes, I have the exact same issue with my 2025 RR. I will have the dealer check it out when I take it in for the latest recall.

I have exactly same issue with RR 2024. Dealer can not find anything wrong, I replaced front brake pads with better ones and that helped a little.

Just a tip! Have dealer show you that the EBB on your truck, not by VIN, is not in the recalled part numbers. With the parts shortage many times the one on the shelf installed at the factory is not the latest part! They have traceable numbers on the part. :like:
