What the record shows for 2025-2026
EPA records cover two Polestar 4 model years, 2025 and 2026, in its standard SUV class. Three versions appear: Long Range Single Motor, Long Range Dual Motor and Long Range Dual Motor Performance.
Both complaints are on the 2026. One names forward collision avoidance, the other back over prevention. So few reports can't reveal a trend, and the Polestar 4 has only just reached owners.
| Model year | Complaints | Crashes, fires, injuries | Recall campaigns |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2026 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
Fix it or sell it?
With no recall to lean on, the choice comes down to the damage and the paperwork.
- Run the VIN anyway at NHTSA's recall page. The list above is a snapshot, and new campaigns appear.
- Insurer totaled it? Read insurer totaled it, or keep the check, sell unrepaired if you're keeping the payout.
- Still financed? See still owe on the loan, or leased car for a lease.
- Battery or charging trouble after a crash or flood? Our EV battery guide and flood damage guide cover what to ask before paying for a repair.
Selling your Polestar 4 whole
- Jot down the VIN, odometer reading and what got damaged.
- Request an offer here, or phone (877) 421-6008.
- Say whether the screen comes on and the wheels turn, and where it's sitting: a collision center, an impound lot, your garage.
- Keep it complete, charge cable included.
- On pickup day, bring the title, or the lender's payoff letter if it's financed, plus your ID.
