- The defect
- Polestar Automotive USA, Inc. (Polestar) is recalling certain 2021 and 2024 Polestar 2 vehicles. In certain driving scenarios while coasting down a hill and using "One Pedal Drive," the vehicle may lose brake function.
- What it can cause
- A loss of brake function increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to use "One Pedal Drive" until the repair has been completed. Polestar has released an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 18, 2025. Owners may contact Polestar's customer service at 1-800-806-2504. Polestar's number for this recall is RP1061.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 2 vehicles this is a small campaign: 98% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Polestar vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic once before this, most recently in November 2024 as 24V835000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 171 complaints with NHTSA, 68 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in February 2022, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V615000 (back over prevention), 25V280000 (back over prevention), 24V939000 (air bags), 24V477000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Polestar Automotive USA, Inc. with NHTSA on July 2, 2025 as campaign 25V409000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
