Polestar Recall Check

Yes. Safety recalls must be repaired at no cost at authorized dealers, regardless of warranty.

Sometimes yes, sometimes limited use only. Your recall notice will say. For the camera issue, owners were advised to seek updates promptly; for wiring/steering issues, schedule ASAP. When in doubt, park it and call the dealer.

As of October 2025, the big ones are Polestar 2 (2021–2025) rear-view camera (24V477, 25V280, 25V615) and Polestar 3 (2025) wiring/connector water intrusion (25V453).

You’ll get an interim letter, then a remedy letter when ready. For 25V615, Polestar anticipates a software solution by late Q1/early Q2 2026. Check your VIN periodically and stay in touch with your dealer.

Software updates are often under two hours; parts replacements vary. Your dealer can estimate after checking your VIN and campaign.

Yes. NHTSA treats safety-critical software (e.g., rear camera visibility) like any other safety system under FMVSS.

If a safety recall is open for your VIN and parts/procedures are available, the manufacturer must provide a remedy at no charge under federal law (subject to the 15-year limit from first sale). If you hit delays, we suggest escalating with the service manager and manufacturer. Keep written proof of completion for your records and resale. 

In the U.S., new cars can’t be sold with an open safety recall, but federal law does not prohibit dealers from selling used cars with open recalls. That’s why you should check any used Polestar’s VIN first and plan the free fix with a dealer.

Tip: Run Detailed Vehicle History’s Polestar Recall Check before you sign, then book the no-cost remedy.

• A safety recall corrects a safety defect or legal non-compliance; the repair is free and tracked by NHTSA (49 CFR Part 573).

   

• A service campaign (sometimes called a product update) addresses non-safety issues or customer satisfaction; it isn’t the same as a recall. Consumer Reports explains this distinction for shoppers.
• A TSB is guidance from the automaker to service departments on known problems and repair procedures; it’s not a recall and isn’t automatically free. Consumer Reports covers this, too.

• Registration/insurance: There’s no general federal rule blocking registration or changing insurance simply because of an open recall; practices vary. Consumer Reports advises buyers and owners to verify and complete recall work promptly.
• Resale: An open recall can discourage buyers; completing recalls and saving receipts helps sales conversations. 

Tip: Use Detailed Vehicle History to show recall status plus titles, mileage, and accidents, a proof that builds buyer confidence.

Many campaigns include reimbursement language. For example, 25V615 and 25V453 note reimbursement paths. Save invoices and contact Polestar Customer Support.

Reliability is still maturing, like most software-heavy EVs. What matters for you is the VIN-specific recall and service history. Polestar has issued safety recalls such as the Polestar 2 rear-view-camera campaigns (latest: 25V-615) and the earlier 21V-110 propulsion software fix, plus a Polestar 3 wiring/harness recall (25V-453). Check your VIN and make sure remedies are completed.

It depends on trim, mileage, incentives in your market, and whether all recalls are closed. Open safety recalls can deter buyers and slow transactions; closing them and keeping documentation helps resale conversations. Pair your recall check with a full history report so shoppers can see the car’s story at a glance. 

Polestar is not discontinued. The company has faced Nasdaq deficiency/delisting notices at times, but it continues to trade and operate; see the company’s investor updates and recent Reuters coverage. 

Regardless of stock-listing status, U.S. law requires manufacturers to provide free recall remedies (with legal limits); those obligations don’t vanish if a company restructures or leaves an exchange.

Battery life varies with use, climate, and charging habits. Polestar says its high-voltage battery is covered under warranty; details are in the model’s warranty booklet. 

Recalls don’t usually extend battery life; they’re about safety and compliance. For example, the Polestar 1 recall addressed a cell-overheating risk with an interim software limit and later hardware remedy. Keeping recalls up to date protects safety and can prevent secondary damage.

Recall remedies are performed at authorized dealers and are free when the campaign is open for your VIN.

Polestar is a Swedish EV brand born from Volvo performance; Geely is the long-term backer. In 2024–2025, Volvo reduced its stake, while Geely continued operational/financial support. That’s why you’ll sometimes see Volvo/Geely referenced in filings and supplier info.

Polestar builds vehicles in multiple locations (e.g., the Polestar 2 in China and the Polestar 3 in South Carolina and China) and uses global suppliers (such as CATL batteries on related platforms).

Recall obligations in the U.S. don’t change with sourcing; manufacturers must notify owners and provide a free safety remedy under federal rules.
