“The backup camera will not work at all. In fact none of the cameras are working. My firmware/software is up to date. The service center can’t book me until 2 months from now. That’s too much time. It isn’t safe because the rear window is so small. This car was designed to work with cameras. The screen says “Camera is temporarily unavailable.””

NHTSA complaint #11679473, filed 2025-08

“NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V477000 Recall was complete via a software update performed by the dealership to version 3.1.9. After the recall was successfully performed, I am continuing to experience an issue where the rear view camera image does not display. When putting the vehicle in reverse, I get an error on the infotainment screen : camera is temporarily unavailable”

“When reversing the car, the backup camera is not available. So when I am backing up the car, the camera cutting out means that I can't see if there are any pedestrians or cars behind me. It has not been taken to a service center, as the nearest one is not currently possible to visit for me. It has not been inspected by manufacturer or anyone else, and there were no warning lamps or symptoms prior.”

“Drove car to the grocery store 5 minutes down the street. Shopped for ~20 minutes, returned to my car and loaded my groceries in my trunk. Shut the trunk and returned the cart to the cart corral. Returned to the vehicle, unlocked via the door handle, put the car in reverse, and was greeted with a Camera system unavailable message. My car is on the latest OTA update 3.6.4, which is intended to fix the backup camera issues.”

“TCAM/Navigation fails. GPS location got really flaky and jumped all over the map, and ultimately stopped working altogether. This TCAM failure seems like a common issue on the polestar forums. The safety concern is mainly the amount of confusion it caused since it was telling me to turn left or right in places where that wouldn't have been legal or safe (because it thought I was somewhere else).”
