Known Issues & Fixes

Fixed for many owners once the amplifier ECU is updated to firmware HD476 or later — this can arrive via the FSWU021 OTA update, or can be requested/manually flashed at a service centre via the MIDA diagnostic tool if the OTA hasn't reached your car. DIY workaround reported by some: set all EQ sliders to minimum, tap Reset, then re-raise bass/sub toward max before other bands.

For app-only glitches: log out and back in, or uninstall/reinstall the app. Server-side outages resolve on their own within a day or two — no owner-side fix exists for those. Persistent in-car connectivity loss has occasionally been resolved by a service centre disconnecting/reconnecting the LV battery to reset the telematics module.

A loose connector is a common root cause for cooling dropouts — SC reseating or replacing it fixes many cases; a full Climate Control Module replacement has been needed when reflashing doesn't help. For persistent odor, replacing the cabin filter gives partial relief; evaporator cleaning (via the frunk access pipe) has helped when the SC agrees to do it, though some SCs decline saying it isn't needed. A recall exists for broken/faulty AC vents on some VINs — ask your SC directly if unsure it applies to your car.

Owners self-reset it in-car using the "BE6/XEV9 Service Reminder Reset" video on the Mahindra DIY YouTube channel (youtu.be/zouTwpFCDdk). Steps: 1. Turn the car on in ACC mode, without pressing any pedal. 2. Check the CID/DID to confirm the alert is present. 3. Press and hold the OK button (rightmost button on the steering wheel). 4. While still holding OK, turn the ignition off and wait for the screen to go fully black. 5. Still holding OK, turn the ignition back on and keep holding for about 10 seconds, until the car finishes booting. 6. Release OK and check the CID/alert history to confirm the reminder is gone. If it doesn't stick, ask the SC to do it for you — some do it as a quick in-and-out visit, and some proactively switch the reminder off before handing the car back after a scheduled service. That said, several owners report it reappearing within a few hundred km regardless, or the steps simply stopping working for them. Also worth knowing: when the feature is working correctly, the alert is meant to start appearing about 400km before the scheduled service is actually due — if you're seeing it much earlier than that, it's the bug, not a real early-service signal.

A manual seat-calibration procedure helps some cars: hold the seat-base switch backward together with the memory (M) button for about 20 seconds to relearn the position. Service centres can also relearn it with a diagnostic laptop. For persistent cases hardware (seat motor) replacement under warranty has been needed.

Toggling the proximity setting off/on and power-cycling the car fixes it for some. Persistent cases have needed a service-centre reflash of the HPCC and Front Zonal ECUs. The self-unlocking-while-charging behaviour has no confirmed fix yet — worth flagging to your SC given the theft-risk implications.

Bodyshop realignment at the service centre resolves simple gap issues. For paint-quality mismatches, note that replacement cladding often arrives unpainted from Mahindra and is painted locally by the SC — escalate directly to Mahindra if the finish doesn't match, since SC paint-shop experience varies. Detached panels have been replaced under warranty when/if evidence is presented.

A brake-cleaner spray on the caliper/disc at the service centre gives temporary relief for most owners, but it tends to recur within weeks since the underlying regen-brake-underuse cause isn't fixed by cleaning. If it doesn't improve, ask the SC to check for a warped disc or misaligned caliper rather than accepting a repeat clean.

Switch the audio source away from AA/CarPlay and back, or reconnect manually — usually restores it without a restart. Some owners traced part of this to a known Android Auto app-side bug (fixed by updating the Android Auto app itself, separate from the car's software); using a wired connection instead of wireless sidesteps it entirely for CarPlay pixelating.

Stock blades wear or were poor quality for several owners, who switched to aftermarket Bosch or other rigid-frame blades for smoother, quieter operation. If the noise is a software issue rather than the blades, a wiper-calibration pass during an SC software reflash session has resolved it in at least one case. One thing to know before you shop: the factory sizes are odd, non-standard lengths, so matching blades exactly can be a hunt. Going an inch over or under stock is fine though, which has given owners some easy aftermarket options — 26" driver / 21" passenger for the BE 6, and 24" driver / 16" passenger for the XEV 9e.

No consistent owner-side fix; some report it intermittently starting to work again with a 5-10s delay. One service centre told an owner this specific reset-on-power-off behaviour would not be addressed even in the next software update — worth confirming current status with your SC before assuming it's fixable.

With the car in Park, hold the sunroof button for about 30 seconds to force a reset/relearn of the sunroof's end positions — this resolved it for several owners without a service visit.

A restart clears most of these false readings. Persistently wrong TPMS readings can be affected by RF interference or very low speed — a manual TPMS-learning routine at the service centre can help if it doesn't clear on its own.

No consistent fix reported; a hollow-noise case self-resolved after several days for one owner. Get it checked at a service centre if the horn fails to sound at all, since that's a safety-relevant fault.

For a stuck handle, holding the small square icon/sensor near the handle for about 20 seconds has fixed it for some owners. For a door that releases but won't open, a service-centre DCM firmware reflash has resolved it; in the worst cases the entire door lock/handle unit needs replacement under warranty.

Manually adjusting the HUD position/height in settings improves it for some. Service centres have offered a HUD glass replacement, but owners note this is a bigger electronics job with no guaranteed improvement — weigh that against how much it bothers you before requesting it.
