Brake wear on other Ocean years
No other Ocean model year has enough reports of brake wear for a sheet of its own. See every Ocean year.
What this problem usually is
Brake reports cover a wide spread of symptoms. Grinding or squealing is common, and so is a pulsing pedal or a shake through the car when stopping. Others describe pads and rotors worn out long before they expected, a brake warning light, or a pedal that goes soft or sinks toward the floor. The most serious ones say the car didn't stop in time.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the ABS module (24 reports) and the pads and rotors (4 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the brakes cover the 2023 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The transmission may not shift into the selected gear, allowing the vehicle to roll away while in Drive or Reverse.
The brake module software may cause an unexpected reduction in regenerative braking, decreasing the braking performance.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 9 of 323 reports involved a crash and 4 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
