Potential 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.
FREE Recall Solution:
Dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 20, 2025. Owners may contact Polestar's customer service at 1-800-806-2504. Polestar's number for this recall is RP1056. Vehicles in this recall that were previously repaired under 24V-477 will need to have the new remedy completed.
Additional Details:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to nhtsa.gov.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Potential Consequences:

Rear backup camera regularly does not display on center console while backing up, flickering between showing the feed, freezing on a still image and showing a black screen with a message stating “camera not available”. This is a known issue that Polestar has attempted to fix multiple times with a software update. I have updated to the most recent software version 3.6.4, which was released in part with the intent to fix this camera issue, and the issue persists.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Potential Consequences:

My vehicle was recalled (NHTSA Recall No. 25V-280) and the software was updated. This is meant to fix issues with the rear camera not activating after the car is put in reverse. However this did not fix the issue. When I start the car in the morning and put it in reverse, the center console displays the message "Camera is temporarily unavailable" and the camera does not activate. This occurs about 40% of the time. Many other owners are still experiencing this issue after updating the vehicle.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Potential Consequences:

I recently got the 3.6.4 software update that was supposed to fix the recall for the constant rear backup camera issues in the Polestar 2. The problem seems to have gotten even worse after the software update. I often have to wait 1-2 minutes while sitting in reverse for the camera to sometimes come on. If it does come on, I’ll start backing up, and halfway through the maneuver, the screen often goes black and says the backup cam isn’t available at this time. If I wait maybe 30 seconds, it sometimes comes back, but I can’t just stop in the middle of the street when I’m backing out of my driveway or a parking spot. The rear windshield already has very poor visibility, so I heavily rely on the backup cam to know what’s around me. Secondarily, the audio drivers seem to constantly malfunction, so I can’t hear any beeping that might come from the rear auto-brake/sensor functionality. Can’t even hear my turn signals when the audio is malfunctioning, too. No collisions or physical damage, but backing up feels like a significant safety hazard. My alley has small kids, and I need to be able to see behind my car. When the camera just freezes midway through backing out of my driveway, I’m kind of stuck. Polestar has released software updates to “fix” this twice, and it has only remained the same or gotten worse. I really think they need to do a hardware update on the central panel, as it seemingly can’t handle many functions that need some CPU power (e.g. it can also take upwards of a minute to load the map app)

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Potential Consequences:

My vehicle's rearview camera occasionally fails to activate when I shift the transmission into reverse. Instead of displaying the camera feed, the infotainment system presents a persistent message stating, 'Camera is temporarily unavailable.' This issue significantly impairs my ability to safely maneuver the vehicle in reverse, increasing the risk of collision with objects or pedestrians due to the lack of visual information typically provided by the rearview camera system. This exists after the second recall fix for this issue was performed by a service center.

Defect Description:

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

Backup camera fails regularly even after software update to version 3.6.4. Video feed will stutter and lag, which gives the driver an unreliable view out the back of the car when reversing. Additionally, the screen will show a ‘Camera temporarily unavailable’ message when reversing, and no camera video feed is shown. The driver may be able to fix this by pressing the home button on the screen, and then tapping on the camera icon to bring up the video feed again, however this may not always work and is an extra step/distraction for the driver. This issue puts pedestrians, animals, vehicles, and other property at risk. Due to the design of the car, there is extremely limited visibility through the side and rear windows of the car. Without a reliably functioning backup camera, drivers may accidentally strike pedestrians or vehicles when reversing. When the issue was brought to the attention of my local Polestar/Volvo service center, I was told there was no solution they could offer and owners must wait for the issue to be solved with future OTA software updates to the vehicle. Polestar has issued several OTA updates, but the issue has not improved whatsoever. A quick search of Polestar forums and Reddit threads will confirm that this issue is widespread across the entire Polestar 2 fleet, with many owners reporting the issues described above. One more note: this camera issue has presented itself throughout the 3+ years I’ve owned the vehicle, however it has worsened over time. It is my opinion (and the opinion of many other Polestar owners) that the infotainment computer is seriously underpowered and in this car. Other apps and functions have presented errors and have become sluggish and unreliable (maps, Spotify, etc) and I believe it is because the system is running out of memory or other resources.

I either get a black screen that says the camera is temporarily unavailable, or it displays the 360 view. It happens every day more often than not.

Potential Consequences:

I just got the 3.6.4 update a couple weeks before receiving the recall letter from Polestar. To my surprise, the car is presenting the “Camera unavailable” way more often after the “fix”. Getting in my car and backing up, I get this error about 3 out of 5 drives, which is super dangerous. I have a toddler at home and feel I’m entitled to have a working backup camera as a safety device.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Potential Consequences:

Polestar release version 3.6.4 update that when applied did not inform us that the one pedal drive was set. The vehicle prior to the update was set to 2 pedal meaning when the gas pedal was let go it would coast and slowly come to a stop. The one pedal immediately was enabled which is a safety as I was not aware and the software did not mention it being activated. It nearly caused me to have a safety issue driving home. The backup camera which has been recalled and polestar sent a notice to update the vehicle is still having failures. Polestar has been creating safety hazards with these software pushes without fully testing it.
