SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
- The defect
- Polestar Automotive USA, Inc. (Polestar) is recalling certain 2020 Polestar 1 vehicles. The fastener that connects the brake pedal and the brake booster may have been improperly assembled during manufacturing, which can cause the brake pedal to detach from the brake booster.
- What it can cause
- Brake pedal detachment can cause a loss of brake function and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will tighten the pushrod screw joint, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 13, 2024. Owners may contact Polestar customer service at 1-800-806-2504. Polestar's number for this recall is RP1039.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
