The 2021 Polestar 1 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery that can overheat when fully charged, creating a fire risk. Prior repair attempts involving a software update did not fully resolve this issue, and a hardware repair is also required. The remaining recall involves the rear seatbelt retractors, which can deactivate too early when used with a child safety seat, preventing the seat from locking in place securely and raising the risk of injury in a crash.
