POLESTAR POLESTAR 2

SERVICE BRAKES

Polestar Automotive USA, Inc. (Polestar) is recalling certain 2021 and 2024 Polestar 2 vehicles. In certain driving scenarios while coasting down a hill and using "One Pedal Drive," the vehicle may lose brake function.

Risk: A loss of brake function increases the risk of a crash.

BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

Polestar Automotive USA, Inc. (Polestar) is recalling certain 2021-2025 Polestar 2 vehicles. The rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk: A rearview camera image that does not display reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

Polestar Automotive USA, Inc. (Polestar) is recalling certain 2024 Polestar 2 electric vehicles. The clamps may be improperly crimped on the driver's side inner far side air bag module (FSAB), which can cause the air bag to deploy improperly.

Risk: An air bag that deploys improperly may not protect the driver as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Polestar Automotive USA, Inc. (Polestar) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Polestar 2 vehicles. The Infotainment Head Unit (IHU) software may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk: A rearview camera image that does not display decreases the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT

Polestar Automotive USA, Inc. (Polestar) is recalling certain 2023 Polestar 2 vehicles. The front left lower ball joint may have been incorrectly installed, allowing the control arm to disconnect from the steering knuckle.

Risk: The control arm disconnecting from the steering knuckle can cause a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

The rear view camera does not always work when putting the car into reverse and gives a "Camera Unavailable" error. My car is on the latest software revision which was supposed to resolve this, but it is still occuring. With the very small rear window, having a 100% working rear camera is imperative.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

On September 7, 2025, I had a total failure of the forward looking radar system in the vehicle. The symptoms were an error "Collision Avoidance system unavailable" and symbol on the driver display after starting the vehicle, and attempting to activate cruise control (which is typically adaptive cruise control) results in an "Unavailable" error. The symptom occurred suddenly after an otherwise unremarkable drive cycle, and the radar sensor appears to be free of any obstructions. This renders an otherwise key safety feature of the vehicle in reducing the chance of a forward collision completely inoperable, and due to service backlogs, I am unable to have the issue addressed by the dealer/service provider for at least a month, meaning the vehicle will remain stuck in this state until then. Prior to this, I have received "Camera temporarily unavailable" errors when in reverse (inhibiting the backup camera feature from operating as intended), even after updating to the latest software version as indicated by the most recent safety recall notice. I've also received very intermittent errors around the blind spot sensor/rear auto-brake/park assist system -- and these three errors occur at the same time -- but I have not seen this error either in the days before or after receiving the collision avoidance system unavailable error.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

When reversing the car, the backup camera is not available. So when I am backing up the car, the camera cutting out means that I can't see if there are any pedestrians or cars behind me. It has not been taken to a service center, as the nearest one is not currently possible to visit for me. It has not been inspected by manufacturer or anyone else, and there were no warning lamps or symptoms prior.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING

Often when putting the camera in reverse, a black screen appears saying the camera is unavailable. This has gotten progressively worse the longer I've owned the car. This increases the risk of hitting someone or something. Polestar has tried to fix this by software updates. No. Camera feed starts to lag first.

The backup camera is unavailable when reversing.

BACK OVER PREVENTION

See attached document for complaint. I am contacting you regarding Recall RP1056, which addresses a known defect where the rearview camera image may fail to display, increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury while reversing . Despite having the recall performed, my vehicle continues to experience the same issue-the rearview camera image intermittently fails to appear, leaving me with limited visibility when backing up. This unresolved safety concern is both frustrating and dangerous. I have recently relocated to Hawaii, and I have come to learn that there are currently no authorized Polestar service centers in the state. As this is a recall-related safety defect that has not been properly resolved , I am formally requesting that Polestar cover the cost of shipping my vehicle to the nearest mainland service center capable of performing the necessary diagnostics and repair. Please confirm receipt of this request and advise on next steps, including scheduling, logistics, and the process for arranging vehicle transport. Your timely response and assistance in resolving this matter is greatly appreciated.
