Polestar has announced a recall of 27,816 vehicles in the U.S. over a rearview camera defect. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), some Polestar 2 cars may fail to display the camera image on the screen when reverse gear is engaged.

The company said work on the fix is underway: dealers will update the software or replace hardware at no cost to owners. A clear remedy helps, and the real test will be how smoothly service centers carry it out, since a quick, seamless repair often defines the owner experience during a recall.Polestar continues to expand its presence in the U.S., competing with Tesla and other electric-car makers. Even so, wide-reaching service campaigns can weigh on buyer confidence in a fiercely contested market. Acting fast and communicating plainly tend to limit the fallout—something shoppers increasingly expect from any EV brand.
