2021 Polestar 1 Reliability

The Polestar brand has only recently burst onto the scene and is free of recalls so far. Although comparisons can be made with Volvo products, the Polestar brand is separate and may have teething issues. That said, the Volvo products from which this car borrows have been generally excellent, with no recalls so far in 2021.

A limited warranty covers the Polestar 1 for the first four years/50,000 miles, while hybrid components are covered for eight years/100,000 miles. Those in California get a two-year/50,000-mile extension on this warranty.
