Buying a used 2021 Polestar Polestar 2? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 147 owner complaints on file

The 2021 Polestar 2 has 5 recalls covering battery software that may disconnect power, loss of braking in One Pedal Drive, and repeated rearview camera display issues. Camera concerns also stand out in the complaint record: NHTSA lists 147 unverified owner complaints, including 114 in back over prevention, 13 in visibility/wiper, and 9 in electrical system. The record includes 2 crashes, 0 fires, and 0 injuries. Repair documentation should address each recall separately, including the braking and power-disconnection items.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify completion of every rearview camera recall by VIN.
3. Request battery software and One Pedal Drive recall records.
4. Check reverse camera display and ask about intermittent failures.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Polestar dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
