7 recalls covering model years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Certain 2021-2025 Polestar 2 vehicles may have a rearview camera image that does not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. This recall replaces earlier recalls for this same issue, so vehicles that were already repaired under those earlier recalls will need to have the new repair performed. This means the driver may not get a picture of what's behind the vehicle when backing up, since the camera feed does not appear when the vehicle is placed in reverse.
On affected vehicles, in certain driving situations — such as coasting down a hill while using the "One Pedal Drive" feature — the vehicle's brakes may stop working.
Polestar is recalling certain Polestar 2 vehicles. On these cars, the picture from the back-up camera may not appear when the vehicle is put into reverse. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule covering rear visibility. Dealers will update the vehicle software at no cost. Vehicles in this recall that were already repaired under an earlier recall, 24V-477, still need the new repair carried out.

On some Polestar 2 electric vehicles, the clamps on the driver's side inner far side airbag module may not be crimped correctly. This can cause that airbag to deploy the wrong way instead of working as intended.

On some Polestar 2 vehicles, a software problem in the infotainment head unit may prevent the rearview camera image from appearing on the screen. Without that camera image on the screen, the driver has less visibility behind the vehicle when backing up, which can make it harder to see what's behind the car. Polestar has released an over-the-air software update that fixes the issue. The update installs automatically and there is no cost to the owner.
The front left lower ball joint on some vehicles may have been installed incorrectly. This could let the control arm disconnect from the steering knuckle, the part that connects the wheel to the steering system.

In some Polestar 2 vehicles, the microprocessor in the Battery Energy Control Module can reset itself. When the microprocessor resets, it can cause the vehicle's high voltage system to disconnect. If the high voltage system disconnects, the vehicle can lose the power it needs to keep moving, resulting in a loss of drive power while the vehicle is being driven.
