Plain-English summary

Fisker Group Inc is recalling all 2023-2024 Ocean vehicles due to a defect in the battery management system (BMS). A communication failure with the cabin electric water pump can prevent the BMS from functioning properly.

When this failure occurs, the BMS may enter limp mode, cutting off drive power to the vehicle. This sudden loss of drive power significantly increases the risk of a crash. The recall affects 7,545 vehicles.

Owners should contact Fisker customer service at 1-844-347-5371. Fisker will replace the affected pumps free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 19, 2024.
