The complaint record includes 1 crash, 0 fires, and 2 injuries, without establishing that these outcomes resulted from a recalled defect.
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.
- Request proof of front ball joint recall completion.
- Verify completion of each camera recall by VIN.
- Check reverse camera display and ask about 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.
