I recently received the new update (version 3.6.4) for our Polestar 2 that was supposed to fix the issue (recall 25V-280) of the rear view camera not working. It did not fix the issue in the safety recall. Since the update the rear view camera works even less often than it did before. I either get a...

I just got the 3.6.4 update a couple weeks before receiving the recall letter from Polestar. To my surprise, the car is presenting the “Camera unavailable” way more often after the “fix”. Getting in my car and backing up, I get this error about 3 out of 5 drives, which is super dangerous....

When vehicle is put into reverse after latest recall update. Periodically it states rear camera is unavailable

The rear view camera consistently fails and gives a camera unavailable error. This is even after the most recent update from Polestar. This can create a very dangerous environment when backing up out of driveways, parking spots, etc.

The vehicles backup camera still does not consistently work despite receiving an over the air software update to remedy the initial recall of the backup camera not working all the time.

When I put the car in reverse I received a warning “Camera Temporarily Unavailable.” The backup camera did not work. This has happened multiple times since the software was updated to version 3.6.4 and as recently as this morning.

Intent of the recent recall was to make the rear view camera reliable, but it has not improved and often (30-40 percent of the time) shows "Camera Is Unavailable".

Even after software update 3.6.4 to fix recall for rear view camera, it is not working properly. This has happened multiple times since the update and many times since receiving this car in 2022.

Randomly the rear camera is unavailable, a software fix was supposed to solve this issue and was applied to my vehicle and it's still having the same error.

When reversing the car, the rear view camera will malfunction and there will be a message that says "camera not available."

My car has exhibited the "camera not available " for the rear camera infrequently, and despite this being addressed in a recall in the 3.6.3 software update, I still received a "camera not available " message today in normal operating conditions, on software 3.6.4.

After the recent update to 3.6.4 my backup camera has failed about 20% of the time. This did not happen as often on the previous version of 3.4.4

A recent update was meant to correct a recall regarding an unavailable backup camera. I received the update, 3.6.4 but I still get camera not available issues frequently.

Rear backup camera is unreliable, even after the latest software update. It does not always turn on when going into reverse, instead displaying a "camera unavailable" message.
