Polestar, the electric car manufacturer originally developed within Volvo Car Group, has announced another recall concerning its latest electric model.

The firm is undertaking a voluntary recall impacting approximately 4,600 vehicles due to identified issues with the inverters, as reported by Reuters. Polestar communicated that all owners of affected vehicles will receive notification, starting on November 2nd.

“This recall centers around the replacement of defective inverters found in the majority of vehicles currently with customers,” Polestar explained, clarifying that these inverters are responsible for converting the energy stored within the battery into the power needed to operate the electric motors. 

Polestar was redefined in 2017 as an electric performance brand focused on creating dynamic and enjoyable electric vehicles. Production of its fully electric Polestar 2 began this spring at a manufacturing facility in China. This production launch represented a significant achievement for the company, which is jointly held by Volvo Car Group and Zhejiang Geely Holding, a Chinese firm.

Despite this progress, the company has encountered some initial challenges. Polestar previously issued a recall on October 2nd after a number of vehicles experienced unexpected shutdowns during operation. “These instances were exceptionally infrequent,” stated Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath during an interview at TC Sessions: Mobility 2020, held in October. Ingenlath also noted at the time that none of the reported incidents occurred within the United States, and no accidents were associated with the affected vehicles. The prior issue was resolved through a software update.
