Polestar 3 recalled

Polestar is recalling its flagship model, the Polestar 3 large electric SUV, as moisture could prevent the vehicle from restarting.

“Due to a manufacturing defect, moisture may enter the bumper wiring harness causing corrosion,” the company says in its recall notice.

“This could result in reduced efficiency of the power assisted steering and a loss of safety systems such as pilot and park assist features.

“Additionally, unable to restart the vehicle.

“A loss of safety systems such as power steering assist, pilot and park assist and/or unable to restart the vehicle could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”

The recall notice lists 172 vehicles as being affected in Australia, produced between 2024 and 2025. However, only 60 of these have been delivered to customers already.
