POLESTAR POLESTAR 1 Recalls

The Polestar 1 has 7 recalls covering the 2020-2021 model years, with the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect on both model years where the battery can overheat when fully charged, generating heat and smoke that can lead to a fire. Prior repair attempts under an earlier software update did not fully resolve the issue, and vehicles that received that earlier fix are included in the current remedy. The 2020 model year carries an additional brake-related recall: a fastener connecting the brake pedal to the brake booster can be improperly assembled, causing the pedal to detach entirely and leaving the driver with no braking ability. On 2021 models, the rear seatbelt automatic locking retractors can deactivate too early, preventing a child safety seat from being secured properly against the seat. There is also a camera software issue on 2020 vehicles equipped with the 360-degree park assist system, where the top-view camera image can appear on screen instead of the rearview image while backing up, reducing the driver's visibility behind the vehicle.
