One Fisker has enough on file to be worth a page here, the 2023 Ocean, whose owners have filed 883 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the electrical system than any other system: 380 of them.

NHTSA holds 11 recall campaigns naming Fisker vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here.

What goes wrong on a Fisker

The systems named most often across every Fisker complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.

Most recent Fisker recalls

The newest campaigns naming a Fisker, by the date the manufacturer's defect report reached NHTSA. Each one covers a build range, which may be narrower than the model years listed.
