Polestar is recalling certain examples of its Polestar 2 electric fastback as they may suffer from a braking performance issue.
“Due to a software issue, under certain driving conditions if the vehicle’s one-pedal drive function is activated it may lead to a loss of braking performance,” the company says in its recall notice.
A loss of braking performance could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
Polestar advises the vehicle is “safe when driven with one-pedal drive function deactivated”. To toggle this on and off, press the car icon in the centre display and select Drive; the one-pedal drive option appears in this menu.

If you own an affected vehicle, you’ll need to contact Polestar customer support or an authorised dealer to schedule a free fix.
If you have any further questions, you can contact the company on (02) 9423 0876.
