Polestar is recalling 27,816 Polestar 2 vehicles in the United States due to a defect affecting the rearview camera. The issue, which could result in the camera image failing to display while the vehicle is in reverse, poses an increased risk of a crash. This recall involves certain model years from 2021 to 2024, as noted by KBB.com.
To address the malfunction, Polestar is offering a free software update through its dealerships. According to Reuters, the problem is not entirely unfamiliar, as a similar recall last year involved over 25,000 vehicles for related rearview camera concerns. Owners were informed of the current recall via mailed letters on August 9, 2024.
Polestar has advised affected vehicle owners to contact their customer service at 1-800-806-2504 to obtain further details. Additionally, more information about the recall can be found on Polestar's official website. This move is part of Polestar's continued efforts to ensure safety and maintain customer trust.
