EV Maker Polestar Recalls 28,000 Cars in US Over Rearview Camera Issue

Electric vehicle maker Polestar is recalling 27,816 cars in the United States due to a rearview camera issue, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday.

The recall, on Polestar 2 models that were sold in the United States before 2025, comes days after the Swedish company paused its 2025 forecast, citing potential impact from sweeping U.S. tariffs.

Polestar currently does not take orders for the China-made Polestar 2 in the United States.

The NHTSA said the rearview camera in certain Polestar 2 vehicles may fail to display in reverse, increasing crash risk. Car dealers will update the vehicle software free of charge to fix it.

The company recalled over 25,000 vehicles in the U.S. for a similar reason last year.
