Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may detect a beam failure associated with a component carrier (CC) of a plurality of CCs that are aggregated. The UE may identify, based at least in part on detecting the beam failure, a CC group in which the CC and one or more other CCs, of the plurality of CCs, are included. The UE may transmit, to the BS, a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) communication associated with the CC group. Numerous other aspects are provided.
