Fisker Inc. has initiated two voluntary recalls to address software issues in its vehicles in North America and Europe. These recalls will be resolved through over-the-air (OTA) updates, aiming to enhance vehicle safety and compliance.
Key Highlights

- Safety Recall: Affects 11,201 vehicles due to potential loss of motor power.
- Noncompliance Recall: Affects 7,145 vehicles due to gauge and icon issues.

A voluntary safety recall is being issued for 11,201 Fisker Oceans in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The current Motor Control Unit (MCU) and Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) software may cause the vehicle to enter a safe state protection mode, potentially resulting in a loss of motor power. All affected vehicles will receive an OTA update to version OS 2.1 to resolve this issue.
Noncompliance Recall Details
In addition, Fisker is issuing a voluntary noncompliance recall for 6,864 Fisker Oceans in the U.S. and 281 in Canada. These vehicles currently do not comply with certain Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) regarding gauges and telltale icons in the cluster display. An OTA update to version OS 2.1 will address this noncompliance.
Regulatory Notices and Dealer Communication
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada (TC) are posting these recall notices on their websites. Vehicles that have already been updated to OS 2.1 are not affected by these recalls. Fisker aims to complete the OTA software update process by June 30, 2024. The company informed its dealer partners of the recalls on May 30, 2024, and will notify owners by June 30, 2024.
