July 9 (Reuters) - Fisker ( FSRNQ ) is recalling 11,308 Ocean
electric SUVs globally due to a water pump issue that could
cause a loss of power, the electric vehicle company said in a
stop-sale notice to its sales department and dealers in Canada,
the United States and the European Union.
The move comes less than two weeks after its third recall in
June. Fisker ( FSRNQ ) had filed for bankruptcy protection last month
after burning through cash in an attempt to ramp up production
of its Ocean SUVs.
The latest recall includes 7,545 vehicles in the United
States, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said
in a letter on Monday.
"A communication failure with the cabin electric water pump
can cause the high voltage battery management system (BMS) to
enter limp mode, causing a loss of drive power," the U.S.
regulator said.
Fisker ( FSRNQ ) will replace the pumps free of charge to rectify the
issue, the company said in the notice.
The company had sent a similar notice to dealers and sales
departments in June to fix an issue related to malfunctioning of
exterior door handles.
