What's wrong?
The driver's side inner far side air bag on the 2024 Polestar 2 is part of the supplemental restraint system. It sits in the driver seat area and is designed to inflate in a crash event when the vehicle's sensors command deployment. The air bag depends on its clamps being crimped correctly so the module holds together and deploys as designed.
On affected vehicles, the supplier missed the crimping step during subassembly because of human error. The assembly station also had incorrect software control settings, so the missed crimp was not caught during production. An improperly crimped clamp can keep the far side air bag from deploying correctly.
There is no warning sign before failure. Polestar says owners will not see a customer warning or indication before the air bag problem is present.
