A beleaguered electric car manufacturer is having to recall thousands of vehicles over an issue with the doors. Fisker has issued the notice for its Ocean SUV cars in North America and Europe amid fears that the fault could increase the risk of injury in an emergency. In the recall notice, the company warned that “on certain vehicles, the outside door handle could become stuck and cause you not to be able to open the door”. Affected customers will be emailed directly by the manufacturer.
Prices on Fisker cars were slashed by up to a massive £15,000 earlier this year, Auto Express reported in April. Reviews on the car are divided, Top Gear magazine gave it a 7/10 writing: “Handsome, composed and capable crossover, but bargain price is offset by company instability.” Car Wow wrote that “the Ocean is a good start, but there are some annoying flaws from this fledgling company”, while Auto Trader gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars hailing the “quirky touches” and “cool surfer vibes”.
