Buying a used 2022 Polestar Polestar 2? Check these 4 recalls first
One high-severity recall covers sudden loss of power while driving; the other three all concern the rearview camera not showing an image. Neither type carried a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. This year has the heaviest complaint file of the range — 305 unverified NHTSA reports, with 1 crash and no fires or injuries. Back-over prevention dominates at 209 reports, followed by electrical system (46), uncategorized (40) and visibility/wiper (20), echoing the camera and electronics recalls.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Test the backup camera repeatedly, including on a cold start, for a blank or frozen screen
- Confirm the sudden-power-loss recall is recorded as completed for this VIN
- Ask the seller whether the car has ever shut down unexpectedly or thrown electrical faults
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Polestar dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
