For Fisker Ocean owners, not much is normal. Now the motorists themselves have to pay for warranty repairs at the brand, which is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.
Fisker Inc., which has already gone bankrupt in both Denmark, Norway and Sweden, has informed Ocean owners that their cars need a number of things.
Some of them are more problematic than others. But the costs must be borne by the motorists themselves. Fisker Inc. will definitely not help that way around.
The brand stated this on its website under the "recall update" tab. At least until Wednesday 18 September. Here it was, among other things, to:
Three of the things that can be fixed relatively unproblematically from Fisker Inc.'s end of the table are the following:
- Software update to resolve loss of propulsion.
- Software update to fix incorrect display of warning lights.
- Software update to further improve unexpected reduction in regenerative braking.
Two of the points are more problematic and at this time associated with an unknown bill for the Fisker owners.

" Please be aware that the costs associated with the work and the repair process must be covered by you as the corvette owner ", wrote Fisker.
But now the brand has apparently regretted the wording. Now it is said that the brand will cover the costs.
According to norske Motor, no one knows at present what it will cost Fisker Inc. and ultimately the owners to have their cars fixed under the 'warranty'.
This is due to the car brand's situation as bankruptcy protected under Chapter 11 of the American corporate law.
The rule means that Fisker Inc. in connection with an agreement entered into in the bankruptcy court, can continue until all assets in the company have been sold.
This summer, Fisker Inc. succeeded. to sell over 3,000 cars at once. However, the car brand, threatened with closure and deeply in debt, had to release the cars for a relatively small sum due to very little interest.
The company's founder, Danish Henrik Fisker, immediately tried to get a bigger car brand to take over the business for bankruptcy protection. It allegedly turned out to be Nissan. But the Japanese ultimately said very clearly no thanks.
