The OP has 2021 model. It has a completely different design of brake resouvour and touchy fluid level is not an issue.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Brake failure warning on 2021 RTL

I am getting an intermittent recurring fault code (C0042) on my new old stock 2022 RT Limited. The most recent occurrence was on this weekend's ride. It was in an area where straight, level roads are uncommon and brake use was higher than normal. I did ride the brake down hills to keep my speed in check. When I got the fault alarm (the orange "!" and the "((I))") we parked the bike to check for visible leaks (none found), waited a bit, started it back up, and the fault code had cleared. I will be checking the brake fluid level again and contacting my dealer again.

Do not ride the brakes, select a lower gear to descend a steep grade. Riding the brakes will cause fault codes.

The 2020 and newer are not as susceptible to the low fluid level as the earlier models. However, 2020 through some 2022 models have a brake switch that is prone to failure and has an active recall. This switch has two separate circuits. One is for the brake lights, and the other informs the CANBUS that you have your foot on the brake. IF the switch thinks you have your foot on the brake, it then monitors the brake pressure and wants to see a 500 psi pressure increase in a certain amount of time. If the pressure doesn't increase, you get a fault. This is an internal failure of the switch.
Joel easiest way to see if the switch is sticking on is to try and put the Cruise Control on, the bike will not engage Cruise if the brake switch is on at all.
Took the bike in to have the dealer look into the brake failure fault codes C0042 and C1182. After pronouncing the bike "good to go" I turned on the ignition, without starting the motor, and the error codes reappeared. I left the bike with them overnight. Once I got home I Googled the codes and found that BRP has a service bulliten on these codes.
It is BRP Service Bulletin 2020-6. I down loaded a copy and sent it to general manager.
I have picked up the bike and have not seen the fault codes (yet). Time will tell.

I had the brake failure annunciator come on, telling me my fluid level was too low. Did a visual inspection: it was fine. I replaced the sensor, a magnetic reed switch. Problem came back a day later. Found that the connector between the sensor and the wiring harness was intermittent. I wired around it and the problem went away, never to reappear.
