Fisker issued a recall for some 11,000 Ocean SUVs over malfunctioning software that could cause a power loss. It's the latest issue for the EV startup's only model.
Fisker Inc. issued a voluntary recall notice Wednesday for 11,201 Oceans, the only vehicle in the lineup of the troubled Southern California electric vehicle maker. The voluntary safety recall stems from a software glitch that may cause the premium sport utility vehicle to lose power and covers Oceans sold in North America and Europe. The company also issued a voluntary 'non-compliance recall' for 7,145 Oceans sold in the U.S. and Canada.
Other probes are examining reports that a door on the Ocean will not open and about a loss of performance. The company has said it is working with the regulator. Founded in 2016 by noted car designer Henrik Fisker, the electric vehicle startup has been in financial trouble since March when it failed to receive more than $100 million in financing and reach an alliance with a major manufacturer. Since then, the company has stopped production, laid off workers and slashed the Ocean's prices.
