full bulletin at NHTSA ↗Polestar Automotive USA, on behalf of Polestar Performance AB, has decided to launch Service Action SP1067: Polestar 3 steering shaft plate sealing on certain model year 2025 Polestar 3 vehicles. Polestar has identified that the sealant amount that was applied between the body plate in the steering shaft area may be insufficient. As a result, water may enter the cabin and cause the carpet to become wet. The corrective action is to reseal the body plate. A total of 145 U.S. vehicles are affected by this service action.
