Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 969 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Polestar vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 4 times before this, most recently in December 2024 as 24V940000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 78 complaints with NHTSA, 32 of them before this campaign was filed. 49 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V037000 (seats), 25V555000 (structure), 25V420000 (visibility), 25V293000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Polestar Automotive USA, Inc. with NHTSA on July 7, 2025 as campaign 25V453000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
