Troubled electric car startup Fisker has recalled every 2023 Fisker Ocean (the only car it sells) to correct warnings that don’t comply with federal safety laws.
Fisker tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that “the instrument panel displays the incorrect font size of the Brake, Park, and Antilock Brake System (ABS) warning lights and displays certain warning lights in amber instead of red.”
The incorrect colors and fonts could fail to alert owners to a problem. “Additionally, multiple warning lights fail to illuminate during the ignition cycle bulb check,” the company says.
Since all Fisker Oceans use digital screens for their driver’s displays, Fisker can fix the problem remotely with a software update. Ocean models should download the patch automatically, though owners will receive a notice in the mail letting them know the fix has been applied to their cars.
Automakers recall many cars to fix safety defects, sometimes more than once. While automakers try to reach every owner to ask them to bring the vehicle in for repair, they rarely get them all. Millions of cars on American roads need free recall repairs. Check the easy VIN tool at our recall center to determine if your car is one of them.
