Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may detect beam failure on a secondary cell (SCell), wherein the UE is configured with a primary cell (PCell) and the SCell for carrier aggregation with a base station; identify one or more resources for transmission of a beam failure recovery request based at least in part on detecting the beam failure, wherein the one or more resources are on one or more SCells configured for the UE; and transmit the beam failure recovery request to the base station using the one or more resources. Numerous other aspects are provided.
