Additional information:
Among the seventy-three (73) recalls the NHTSA announced in June comes news of the following:

Fisker Group, (“Fisker”) a La Palma, California establishment, has recalled all 2023 model year Fisker Ocean EV Sport Utility Vehicles (“SUVs”) marketed, sold and delivered in the United States.

Recall Category: Electrical System – Incorrectly Displayed Warning Lights in apparent contravention of US FMVSS 135 and 101

NHTSA Safety Notification 24V405000 reports 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. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 135, “Light Vehicle Brake Systems” and 101, “Controls and Displays”. Additionally, multiple Warning Lights fail to illuminate during the Ignition Cycle Bulb Check, failing to comply with the requirements of US FMVSS 138 and 208.

According to the NHTSA, Warning Lights that do not display correctly can fail to alert the driver to critical safety information, increasing the risk of a crash, motor vehicle collision (“MVC”) or other impact event with consequential serious injury and/or life-changing results.
