Plain-English summary
Polestar Automotive USA, Inc. is recalling certain 2025 Polestar 3 hybrid electric vehicles. Fluctuations in the 12-volt electrical system may have damaged the High to Low Voltage Converter Module (HLCM), which is responsible for converting energy in the vehicle's electrical system.
A damaged HLCM reduces the system's ability to convert energy, which can result in a sudden loss of drive power. This loss of power increases the risk of a crash.
Owners may contact Polestar customer service at 1-800-806-2504 to schedule service. Dealers will replace the High to Low Voltage Converter Module free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 17, 2025.
