Synopsis

Fractional flight crew reported two crew alerting system messages on take off. Flight crew rejected the takeoff and returned to the hangar.

Narrative

After setting takeoff power the aircraft began rolling down Runway XX @ ZZZ. At 40 kts. we received a Stall Protection Fail" and a "Rudder limiter Fault" CAS (Crew Alert System) message. We noted the CAS message and aborted the takeoff at 50 kts. Exited the runway at Taxiway 1; and taxied the aircraft back to the hangar where the aircraft was declared AOG. This same scenario happened to a previous crew a few days earlier; which had been signed off by Maintenance. During the preflight briefing we; as a crew discussed the scenario and what had previously occurred. We read through the appropriate Checklist associated with the issues; and briefed they are both "No Go" items. We were both aware and prepared ahead of time for the situation to arise again.Suggestions: The aircraft was at ZZZ the day before the trip with a crew on Standby FBO. A maintenance test flight could have prevented an aborted takeoff with passengers on board; and a delay in there trip. However; I don't know the criteria for a maintenance flight to be assigned."

Second reporter narrative

We preflighted; loaded passengers and taxied out as normal. There was a previous maintenance write up and aborted takeoff with another crew 3 days prior so we verified that it was signed off. We briefed that Maintenance was not able to duplicate the issue and there was a possibility of an abort for the same CAS (Crew Alerting System). (Stall protection Fail; followed by Rudder Limiter Fault)We got the same 2 CAS messages about 45-50 kts. and aborted the takeoff. I told Tower we needed to taxi back to our hanger. Person A called Maintenance Control and I called Dispatch once we were parked and shutdown. I also talked with the passengers and we found another aircraft to get them to their destination on time.Suggestions: I was on Standby at FBO the day before this flight. I wish Maintenance had scheduled a test flight for this situation before releasing the plane with passengers. I know a FCF (Functional Check Flight) was not required; but something along those lines would have prevented the passenger delay that ensued.
