My Fisker ocean is unable to connect to the cloud following the recent disconnection by American Lease. My vehicle is still on software 2.0 "On June 5, 2024, Fisker notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of two recalls for Cluster Telltales and Powertrain Modules. Both issues are addressed with the OS 2.1 software update." What is the path to update my vehicle?

Fisker, through an authorized party in the bankruptcy, was directed by NHTSA on any safety recalls requiring a software update to update affected vehicles to software "Version 2.2." This new version of the software was designed to address NHTSA's safety recalls on the vehicle. In early 2025, I received an update to the software entitled "Version 2.2.2, which, based on available public information, is an incomplete portion only of software "Version 2.2." If true, recall 24V404000 was not completed as directed by NHTSA. NHTSA should investigate whether those owners having new software versions "2.2.1" or "2.2.2" received all of the required software updates needed to address outstanding safety recalls for the vehicle that were supposed to be resolved by an OTA software update, namely "Version 2.2."

Vehicle recall 24V499000 was a sudden loss of power due to a faulty water pump. Fisker or its assigned agent in the bankruptcy proceeding was supposed to replace the water pump including labor and part, free of charge to each owner affected. I had the water pump replaced through a Fisker authorized recall location, privately owned, and was not charged for the part. However, I was charged $228 for the labor to install of $228.00. Fisker, or the party held responsible in the bankruptcy to do the recall, should reimburse owners for the labor to install the part, as required by NHTSA in this recall.

Several Fisker Ocean recalls have been issued including 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) and 24V499000 (Water pump). On the first recall, I was not provided the 2.2 software as the recall provided - on or about Feb 19th I received a partial update to software version 2.2.2. Since that time, I have been waiting for the full 2.2 recall, but that is not longer possible as the recall administrator cut off all cloud and wireless access to my vehicle (and many others on Thursday May 15, 2025. On the water pump recall, I will need to drive 330 miles from De Pere, WI to Peoria, IL to have this work done on June 16th. There is no process or plan to cover the costs from the recall administrator so at this point I'm looking at spending about $500 plus travel costs of $225 to have this work done and no way to be reimbursed ($375 for a (manual 2.2 update, water pump replacement, and all door handles checked 24V466000 (Door Handles).

My Fisker Ocean ICC infotainment screen and the lower climate and sound control panel have stopped functioning. Initially it was restarting on its own once in a while. Once it was able to get booted up, all eletronics, vents and sound controls were still working. However, ICC has now been blacked out and stays in start loop every 5 mins. I have fully lost the climate control and sound system. It has created a dangerous driving environment as the windshield cannot be defogged at bad weather. I lost heat and AC along with the sound system and other electronic controls from the ICC.

All Fisker Ocean vehicles were supposed to receive a full 2.2 OS update. However, I received 2.2 (2/3) partial update. I have waited since end of 2024. No full update was ever pushed via OTA on my Fisker Ocean One. I'm the very first Fisker owner. The full 2.2 OS update will fix many software bugs which still exist on my vehicle today.

The Fisker Ocean was delivered with door handles that have major physical defects, including entrapment inside the vehicle in the case of 12V power loss and users unable to enter the vehicle. In my case, I have installed an emergency door hatch release myself in the trunk of the car to prevent entrapment. I have also ordered the new Gen2A door handles manufactured by Chevalier. These Gen2A door handles should have been provided free of charge to all Fisker Ocean owners if the company still existed. I believe we should be compensated for faulty and dangerous door handles. American Lease, the company now responsible for the fleet of Fisker Oceans, should pay for the handles and the repair cost. I have included the receipt of the door handles I had to purchase, but this does not include the labor cost to install them (at least $1,000). In addition, the Fisker Ocean was delivered with problematic rear reading lights that turn on randomly due to a faulty metal switch. This means the light can turn on when the car is parked and off, or even more dangerously, while driving (especially at night). I removed the switch. Finally, the Fisker Ocean was delivered with electrical wiring that was not properly waterproofed causing many, many errors for users. I have taken off the front and rear bumpers to properly waterproof these wirings, taking hours of my free time to protect connectors from water ingress. This is unacceptable for a car that was produced in 2023-2024.

There was a formal recall on waterpumps for Fisker. I have had the waterpump replaced, but Fisker owners were due a $75 refund on the cost of the pump (Not the labor). I have not received said refund. The old pump is no longer available, but I can produce a receipt to show that the work was done by a recognized Fisker servicer. Had I not gone forward, the risk was that the electric motor would stop working.

There was an NHTSA-mandated water pump recall for this vehicle, and I had the pump replaced on March 16, at an out-of-pocket cost of $175. I have been told (by the Fisker Owners Association) that this cost is supposed to be reimbursed to me, but that there is currently no way for me to request that. Why not?

The cars electrical system does not work properly. It is always triggering false alarms. The emergency braking brakes for unknown reasons. The blind spot cameras and notifications always switch off for no apparent reason. There are warning messages that come on and off and are unreliable to warn of an actual problem.

Difficulty getting recalls completed due to overcharging by Indigo and other entities. Have not gotten complete software update needed for the recall. Partial update has severly decreased range of car, making it much worse than what it was beforehand. Lots of errors popping up because of faulty update and faulty software before it, so many that I don't know what is true or not. So, may be missing true safety issues. Need to pay to replace water pumps myself because monies have not been freed up (this is part of another recall). Extreme difficulty getting service because of over charging for FAST tool needed for servicing.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V499000 (Electrical System). The contact attempted to contact the manufacturer but was unsuccessful because the company had filed for bankruptcy protection and was no longer in business. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure.

After receiving the 2.2 OTA UPDATE, I have lost the Pedestrian warning sounds at low speeds which are required to pass State safety inspections in my state of NC. Without this function the vehicle can not be heard moving down the streets at slow speeds below 18mpg which is a Hazzard. Also the reverse function has lost the warning sound.

I paid out of my own pocket for a safety recall, with no evidence I will ever be refunded, and the recall team has un-done my recall update. This is the 2.2 update that was put in place to fix the potential issues with the safety of the vehicle. I do not know what they have undone. I know that my system went from full 2.2 software to 2.2.2 (part2) of the update. I have no idea if they will now update the vehicle back to the safe 2.2 version, as there are zero plans, and the recall team is insisting that this partial update satisfies all the recalls. But the recall documents say 2.2, not a partial update.. god knows if it is even safe to sit in this incomplete configuration. Still no plans to get water pumps and door handles done yet either. I just started calling tech to travel to my area for these services. 10 of us are going to be paying out of pocet for these recalls as well.
