Is there a fix? Manufacturer service bulletins
The manufacturer has issued service bulletins covering cruise control on this vehicle — documented repair instructions, service campaigns, or warranty extensions sent to dealers. A TSB isn't a recall (it's not a free safety remedy), but it's the manufacturer acknowledging the issue and how to fix it.
This Preliminary information communicates information on vehicle speed being limited due to aftermarket lower kit being installed on the vehicle.
full bulletin at NHTSA ↗Customer Satisfaction Program (Revised Service Procedure). Certain vehicles may have a condition in which the brake system control module (BSCM) may set and latch an internal fault in the module?s on-board diagnostics (OBD) buffer. When the fault is present, no malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is illuminated and there is no driver information center (DIC) message. If an over the air (OTA) software update is pushed to an OBD module and the customer accepts it through the Infotainment system, the update will fail because the presence of the active fault will block the OTA update. The customer may notice that the OTA update has failed with an error message on the DIC. This fault is not visible
