Problem:
Owners of the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica may encounter a warning message on the vehicle’s digital dashboard that reads: “Brake System degraded. Excessive brake aging. Please contact service.” This message is a diagnostic alert indicating that the braking system performance has deteriorated, often due to extensive wear or age-related components such as brake pads, rotors, or brake fluid condition. In high-performance vehicles like the Huracan Tecnica, the brake system is engineered for precision and longevity under extreme conditions—but it is not immune to excessive use or lack of maintenance.
The appearance of the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica Brake System degraded warning, paired with the Excessive brake aging notice, suggests that the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics have detected a threshold that requires immediate professional inspection. Ignoring the “Please contact service” message may result in compromised braking efficiency and pose a risk to performance and safety. If this warning appears, it is strongly recommended to book an appointment with your authorized Lamborghini service center or a specialized VAG diagnostic technician to assess the wear levels and overall condition of the braking components.
Solution:
To resolve the “Brake System degraded. Excessive brake aging. Please contact service.” warning on the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica, a reset must be performed using the factory diagnostic tool ODIS (Offboard Diagnostic Information System). This message commonly appears due to scheduled service intervals for the brake fluid and carbon ceramic brake discs, which are monitored electronically by the vehicle’s control unit.
The Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica, along with other models such as the Huracan EVO and STO, includes internal service reminders specifically for the braking system. These service alerts are tied to a predefined mileage, usage patterns, and time-based thresholds programmed into the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics. Resetting these notifications is not possible through the standard vehicle interface and requires connection to the original Lamborghini Diagnostic Tool.
A certified technician with access to the ODIS system can perform a full diagnostic scan, assess the actual condition of the brake components, and reset the relevant service parameters once it has been verified that the brake system is within operational standards. This step ensures that the vehicle’s internal systems reflect the most accurate maintenance status and clears the dashboard warning message.
It is highly recommended to have the reset process carried out by an authorized Lamborghini service center or a qualified VAG programming specialist with factory diagnostic capabilities. Attempting to clear the warning without verifying the brake system’s condition or bypassing the proper diagnostic protocol may lead to unsafe driving conditions and void certain aspects of warranty coverage.

Result:
Following the proper diagnostic and reset procedure using the ODIS system ensures that the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica’s brake system warning—“Brake System degraded. Excessive brake aging. Please contact service.”—is accurately addressed. Once a certified technician verifies that the brakes, including pads, rotors, and brake fluid, are within factory specifications, the system is recalibrated to remove the warning. This restores full functionality of the vehicle’s onboard monitoring, ensuring both safety and performance are uncompromised. Timely intervention also helps maintain the vehicle’s service history, retains value, and offers peace of mind to the driver.
