The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has recently taken action to investigate reports of unintended vehicle movement in Fisker’s 2023 Ocean electric sport utility vehicles. This preliminary probe was initiated in response to four complaints received by the NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation, all of which raised concerns about the vehicle’s ability to shift into park mode or the intended gear, leading to potential unintended movement. It is worth noting that one of the reported incidents resulted in injury, underscoring the seriousness of this issue.
As professionals in the automotive industry, it is crucial to stay informed about such developments and to prioritize the safety and quality of vehicles. This investigation by the NHTSA serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive defect identification and swift corrective action to ensure the safety and satisfaction of consumers.
