Each campaign in detail

Humidité dans un connecteur du faisceau avant : rappel KBA de 2025
Manufacturer recall
Polestar a rappelé en Allemagne 9 966 Polestar 3 fabriquées en 2023 et 2024 (référence KBA 15332R, publiée en août 2025). De l'humidité pénètre dans le boîtier d'un connecteur et corrode les broches, ce qui peut mettre en panne des systèmes comme le frein de stationnement ou la direction assistée. En atelier agréé, le faisceau de câbles du pare-chocs et les connecteurs du faisceau du compartiment moteur sont remplacés. Source : site agrégateur citant le KBA ; vérifiez par le numéro de série.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
Single source so far: to be confirmed.
