Buying a used 2023 Polestar Polestar 2? Check these 4 recalls first
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
- 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.
- Ask for documentation that the front suspension recall inspection or repair was done
- Listen for clunks or knocking from the front end over bumps during the test drive
- Check the reverse camera shows an image every time, not just intermittently
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Polestar dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
