Known issues

High
Fisker filed for Chapter 11 in June 2024. On July 16, 2024 the court approved the sale of its remaining unsold Oceans, more than 3,200 of them, to American Lease, a New York company that leases cars to ride-hailing drivers. The liquidation plan was confirmed that October.
High
Fisker sold the Ocean with a 10-year, 100,000-mile battery warranty to 75% of original capacity. The company no longer exists to honor it, and the cars sold to American Lease carried no factory warranty.
High
NHTSA 24V-404 (June 2024) covers all 2023 Ocean vehicles. The Motor Control Unit and Vehicle Control Unit software may put the vehicle into a safe-state protection mode unexpectedly and cause a loss of drive power. The remedy is an over-the-air software update. Verify by VIN that the campaign was completed.
High
NHTSA 24V-499 (July 2024) covers all 2023-2024 Ocean vehicles. A communication failure with the cabin electric water pump can put the high-voltage battery management system into limp mode and cause a loss of drive power. The remedy replaces the pumps. Verify by VIN that the campaign was completed.
Medium
The sale left Fisker with no duty to update cars past software version 2.1. An October 2024 settlement had American Lease fund the Fisker cloud for five years from January 2025, and Electrek reported in May 2026 that owners had since lost remote connectivity and a pending software recall. Check the software version and whether recall updates were installed.
Medium
No factory service network remains. The bankruptcy sale included no parts supply, and diagnosing faults or programming replacement parts needs Fisker's proprietary software.
