6 recalls covering model years 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
On certain 2025 Polestar 3 vehicles, the metal catches that lock the rear seat backrest in its upright position may not be tightened down properly. If they are loose, the back of the rear seat can fall forward. That matters most in a crash: with the seatback down, luggage and other items in the cargo area can come flying into the passenger space and injure the people sitting there. A dealer will tighten the mounting nuts.
Some 2025 Polestar 3 SUVs left the factory with bolts missing from the front bumper's hood wing piece. Without those bolts holding it in place, that piece of bodywork can work loose and fall off the car while you're driving. A bumper part lying in a traffic lane is a hazard for you and for drivers behind you. Polestar dealers will check for missing screws and replace the bumper and screws if any are gone, at no cost.
The large glass sunroof over the cabin may not be fastened down properly. If what is holding it in place lets go, the whole glass panel can detach from the roof while you are driving. That leaves an opening above your head and sends a big piece of glass onto the road behind you, where it can strike another vehicle or force another driver to swerve. Polestar will replace the panoramic glass sunroof at no charge.
Water can get into the electrical connectors that join the wiring in the engine bay to the wiring in the front bumper. Over time that water damages the connectors and the wiring harness. Damaged wiring can cause a range of electrical problems in the car, including loss of power steering assist, which makes the steering suddenly much heavier and harder to turn. Polestar will replace the bumper harness and the connector between the bumper and engine bay wiring.
On certain Polestar 3 vehicles, the backup camera picture may fail to show on the dashboard screen when you shift into reverse. Instead of seeing what is behind the vehicle, you may get no image at all. Without that view, it is harder to notice a child, a pet, or an object behind you while backing up. Federal safety rules require the camera image to display, so these vehicles do not meet that rule.
Certain 2025 Polestar 3 hybrid electric vehicles may have a damaged part that changes high-voltage power into the low-voltage power the car needs. Swings in the 12-volt electrical system can harm this part. When it is damaged, the car cannot move power around properly, and you can suddenly lose the ability to accelerate while driving. Polestar dealers will replace the part free of charge.
