2012 Fisker Karma RecallJan 24, 2012
Fisker has announced that they are recalling certain model year Fisker Karma passenger cars manufactured from July 1, 2011 through November 3, 2011. They stated that within the high voltage battery, certain hose clamps may have been positioned incorrectly during assembly. If positioned incorrectly, the battery compartment cover could interfere with the hose clamps, potentially causing a coolant leak from the cooling hoses.If coolant enters the battery compartment, an electrical short could occur possibly resulting in a fire. Fisker will notify owners, and dealers will replace the high voltage battery with a new part at no cost to the owner. The recall is expected to begin during January 2012. Owners may contact Fisker at 1-855-575-7577.
