About this model

The Polestar 1 is a 2-door plug-in hybrid sports car marketed by Polestar, then a brand of Volvo Cars. It was the first car produced by the company since becoming an independent car manufacturer in June 2017. Based on Volvo's Concept Coupé from 2013, the Polestar 1 is built on the Volvo Scalable Product Architecture platform and is powered by a hybrid powertrain, using a front-mounted engine and two electric motors at the rear. A limited production run of 1,500 cars took place over three years, from 2019 to 2022, for the left-hand drive market only. For an original MSRP of $156,500. Production took place in Chengdu, China, where the company's first production facility was built.

Regulator investigations

Opened by NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. An investigation is a question the regulator asked about a possible defect, not a fault it found — most end without a recall.

What the maker told its dealers

Service bulletins are the manufacturer's own repair guidance to dealers, filed with NHTSA. A bulletin is not a defect finding; the count rises with how many things a maker writes down, not only with how many go wrong.

Polestar filed 61 bulletins about the 2021 Polestar 1.

53 more.

Grouped by NHTSA's top-level system; a bulletin filed under a sub-heading counts toward its system.
