The Fisker Ocean has been recalled once again, this time for an issue that could lead to an unexpected reduction in regenerative braking.
The recall includes 7,745 Ocean electric SUVs from model years 2023 and 2024 (the only two in which the Ocean was sold before Fisker filed for bankruptcy). Software issues in these vehicles may reduce regenerative braking while decelerating over bumps, according to the NHTSA.

Drivers still have access to friction brakes, and “normal operation” resets after 740 milliseconds, according to recall documents. However, drivers may have to press the brake pedal unexpectedly due to the reduced regen. Fisker is aware of one injury related to this issue.
Fisker will release an over-the-air software update to address the issue. It plans to mail owner notification letters Oct. 14, 2024, but in the meantime owners can contact Fisker customer service at 1-844-347-5371. Fisker’s reference number for this recall is TSB10062408.
2023 Fisker Ocean
This is the fifth recall of the Ocean during its brief production run, although only three recalls apply to both 2023 and 2024 models. That includes a recall of 8,204 vehicles in the U.S. to address sticking door handles that could prevent the doors from opening. Assembly and some development work was contracted out to Magna, which built the Ocean at its facility in Graz, Austria, alongside the also discontinued Jaguar I-Pace.
Production was slow to ramp up and, once it did, slow sales left Fisker vulnerable. In July, the bankrupt automaker asked the judge overseeing its Chapter 11 proceedings for permission to sell leftover cars to a leasing company for $14,000 each. In a postmortem drive, Green Car Reports found that the Ocean was frozen in beta, with a stylish design but tech features left incomplete by software updates that may never come.
