Polestar Faces Another Recall Over Growing Camera Glitch

  • The latest recall affects 3,665 Polestar 3 models in the United States due to a camera glitch.
  • Polestar said it’ll resolve the issue with an over-the-air software update for affected vehicles.
  • Volvo recently recalled over 400,000 vehicles in the U.S. for a similar rearview camera fault.

Just days after news broke that nearly 28,000 Polestar 2 EVs are being recalled in the United States for a faulty rearview camera, the 2025 Polestar 3 is now facing similar issues. Things could get particularly bad for the majority-owned Geely brand if the Polestar 4 is the next model to be recalled, as it famously doesn’t even have a rear window, meaning it solely relies on a camera.

Polestar says that the vehicle’s infotainment display does not show the rearview camera image by default when the SUV is placed in reverse. In addition, if the vehicle is traveling forward at less than 10 mph since it was last placed in reverse, a 3D/360 view is incorrectly displayed, as opposed to the rearview image.

Curiously, whereas Polestar recently specified the 2’s issue was due to a synchronization error between the Parking Assist Camera and the infotainment system, it hasn’t specified what the cause of the issue in the 3 is. What we do know is that it can be remedied with a simple over-the-air software update that is being readied.

The automaker was alerted to a potential issue on February 10, 2025, after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Office of Defects Investigation alerted it to three allegations of rearview camera failures.

 Polestar Faces Another Recall Over Growing Camera Glitch

In total, 3,665 Polestar 3 models are impacted by the recall. All of them were built between March 7, 2024, and April 23, 2025. Polestar says the software will be updated either by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on July 1, 2025.

Volvo is also dealing with some rearview camera issues of its own. It is recalling a total of 413,151 vehicles in the United States over a software issue that may prevent the image from being shown on the infotainment screen. Impacted models include the likes of the S60, V6, V60 Cross Country, S90, V90, V90 Cross Country, XC60, XC40, XC90, and C40.
