Polestar service campaign DP1048
Polestar filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Mar 13, 2025, received Apr 15, 2025, about the fuel/propulsion system — 2 documents under this number. It names 1 model year (2025). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationPolestar Automotive USA on behalf of Polestar Performance AB, have decided to launch Delivery Action DP1048: Polestar 3 Cell modules on certain Model Year 2025 Polestar 3 vehicles. Polestar has identified that one or more cell modules in the high voltage battery have been drained below the allowed voltage level. As a result, these battery cells cannot be charged. The corrective action is to identify any defective cell modules by performing a component test in VIDA. When the test has been executed, VIDA will state which repairs are needed. IMPORTANT NOTE: Any new cell modules that are installed must be scanned with the mVIDA app. All old cell modules must follow the return instructions outlined in Service Journal 1000426. 1 U.S. vehicle is affected by this Delivery Action.

Common questions

No. A service campaign is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the DP1048 repair free?
A service campaign is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does DP1048 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2025 Polestar 3. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
