Buying a used 2024 Polestar Polestar 2? Check these 5 recalls first
This year carries the critical recall for loss of braking while coasting downhill, plus a high-severity recall for a driver airbag that may deploy improperly — and the three familiar rearview camera recalls. None carried a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. NHTSA shows 24 owner complaints, unverified, with 1 crash and 2 injuries and no fires. Back-over prevention leads at 13 reports, then electrical system, uncategorized and tires. The complaint volume is low, partly reflecting a newer model year.
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.
- Verify by VIN that the braking and driver airbag recalls are closed
- Confirm the airbag warning light behaves normally and ask if the steering wheel was ever serviced
- Test the rearview camera in reverse across several separate drives
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Polestar dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
