Recall Alert: Polestar 1

The Polestar 1 coupe seen from a front quarter angle

Polestar has recalled five copies of its 2020 Polestar 1 coupe because their brake pedals may be loosely attached and able to move in unintended ways.

The company tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that “a rod connecting the brake pedal to the hydraulic brake unit may not have been assembled correctly at the supplier.” That can leave the pedal loose and unstable.

The remedy is simple – “Polestar will torque the pushrod screw joint according to specification.”

By law, dealers never charge for recall repairs.

Automakers recall many cars, sometimes more than once. Manufacturers try to reach every owner to warn them. However, some may fall through the system’s cracks, leaving some of us unknowingly driving recalled cars. Check our easy recall tool to determine if your car has any outstanding recalls.
