Fisker Ocean Owners Face Recall Costs Amid Bankruptcy

Fisker Ocean owners are required to pay for labor costs associated with two hardware-related recalls due to the company's ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The recalls address faulty outer door handles and a malfunctioning cabin electric water pump, both of which present safety risks. Fisker will provide the necessary parts for free, but customers must cover the labor fees for inspections and repairs. The company plans to notify owners about authorized service centers by the end of September 2024. Additionally, three other recalls related to software issues will be resolved via free over-the-air updates. This adds to the financial and logistical burdens of Fisker Ocean owners, many of whom have already faced a decline in vehicle value and maintenance support issues.
