Business Wire
Fisker Inc. (“Fisker”), driven by a mission to create the
world’s most emotional and sustainable electric vehicles, announced
today that it has issued a voluntary recall for 12,523 vehicles in
North America and Europe for an issue involving the outer door
handles on 2023-2024 Model Year Fisker Ocean vehicles.
Fisker is issuing a voluntary recall for 8,204 vehicles in the
US, 513 vehicles in Canada, and 3,806 vehicles in Europe. The
company estimates that 2.5% of vehicles could have the defect.
The door handles on the Fisker Ocean may become stuck due to a
malfunctioning mechanism. Addressing this malfunction promptly is
essential to ensure the safety and accessibility of the vehicle for
its passengers.
Fisker intends to perform a thorough inspection of all four side
door handles on each vehicle utilizing a specialized force checking
tool provided by the outer door handle supplier. If the force
checking tool indicates any side door handle as “Not Okay,” the
outer door handle will be replaced. This proactive measure ensures
that all door handles meet the required safety and operational
standards, thereby enhancing the overall reliability and
functionality of the vehicle's entry system.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and
Transport Canada (TC) are in the process of posting these recall
notices on their websites. Fisker expects to complete the
door-handle evaluations and repairs update process as soon as
possible. The company informed its dealer partners of these recall
actions on June 17, 2024, and will notify owners by August 30,
2024.
For further information, owners can contact Fisker directly by
calling toll-free at 1-844-FISKER1 from 6 AM to 7 PM Pacific Time,
Monday through Friday, or via the website at
