A brake system for a vehicle having wheels. The brake system (4) comprises: a brake assembly (8) for supplying a braking effort to the wheels on actuation of the brake assembly and brake input means (20) co-operable to actuate the brake assembly via a brake-by-wire connection. The brake input means are connected to decoupling means (26, 34) for hydraulically decoupling the brake input means from at least one of the brake assembly and a brake simulator (28). A controller (10) is configured for sending, in dependence on a defined condition, a feedback command to the decoupling means to actuate the decoupling means and thereby impart haptic feedback to the brake input means. A method of imparting haptic feedback is also described as are software and processor.
