8 recalls across 1 model year
The Polestar 3 has 8 recalls, all affecting the 2025 model year, with the most serious being a high-to-low voltage converter module that can fail and cause a sudden, complete loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion.
The panoramic glass sunroof on 2025 models can detach while driving and become a road hazard for surrounding traffic. On the structural side, the front bumper can be missing mounting bolts, allowing it to separate from the vehicle and create a similar hazard on the road.
Water can enter the connector between the engine bay and front bumper wiring harnesses on 2025 vehicles, disabling electric power steering assist and causing steering effort to spike sharply, particularly at low speeds. The same water intrusion can also knock out the pedestrian warning sound system and parking assistance features.
The rear seat backrest striker brackets can be loose on 2025 models, meaning the backrest can fold forward in a crash and allow cargo from the trunk area to enter the cabin. The rearview camera on these vehicles has two related issues: it can fail to display any image when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, or it can show the wrong camera view, both of which reduce the driver's ability to see what is behind the vehicle while backing up.
