I have a 2023 XC40 B4 mild hybrid.

I know it has regenerative braking, and I see the battery charge indicator when I am braking. However I find the brakes slow to react, they seem spongy. Several times on the motorway I have had the autobraking kick in because the car wasn't slowing down enough when I was pressing the brake pedal, which was quite scary.

I have just become aware on this forum of a worldwide Volvo brake software recall issue, is this connected?

I have a colleague who has a Polestar electric and he says it starts to brake as soon as he takes his foot off the accelerator.
