29 recalls across 3 models
Polestar has 3 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 2020 through 2025. Across those models, 29 recall campaigns are recorded, with 69% falling into the Critical or High tiers under the severity rating system. Critical recalls, which account for 45% of the total on their own, typically involve consequences such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, or conditions that significantly increase crash probability. High recalls make up an additional 24%, meaning the vast majority of activity in the lineup sits in the two uppermost tiers. Medium recalls account for 28%, with just one recall rated Low and none rated Informational.
The Polestar 2 leads all models with 14 recalls, reflecting its longer presence in the market and broader production volume relative to the newer entries in the lineup. The Polestar 3 follows with 8 recalls, and the Polestar 1 rounds out the database with 7. Because all three models were introduced within a relatively compressed window, the recall record covers a narrow but active span of five model years, with Critical and High activity distributed across the entire lineup rather than concentrated in any single model.
