Buying a used 2025 Polestar Polestar 3? Check these 6 recalls first

6 NHTSA recalls · 78 owner complaints on file

Six recalls is a lot for one model year, and they span several systems: a critical one for sudden loss of driving power, high-severity items for water-damaged wiring that can kill steering assist, glass sunroof detachment and a front bumper piece falling off, plus medium recalls for the backup camera and loose rear seat backrest brackets. NHTSA lists 78 unverified owner complaints, with 4 crashes and 1 injury, no fires — nearly half under electrical system.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Get a full VIN recall report covering all six items, starting with power loss and the steering wiring
3. Inspect the glass roof panel and front bumper trim for secure, even fitment
4. Push and pull the rear seat backrests to confirm the brackets are tight
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Polestar dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
