Buying a used 2023 Polestar Polestar 2? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 114 owner complaints on file

The mechanical item to note is a high-severity recall for a front suspension joint that may come apart; the other three recalls repeat the rearview camera display failures seen across this model. None carried a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. NHTSA has 114 owner complaints — unverified — including 1 crash and 2 injuries, no fires. Back-over prevention accounts for 87 of them, with smaller counts under visibility/wiper and electrical system, so camera behavior and front-end condition both merit checking.

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. Ask for documentation that the front suspension recall inspection or repair was done
  3. Listen for clunks or knocking from the front end over bumps during the test drive
  4. Check the reverse camera shows an image every time, not just intermittently
  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.
