What's wrong?
The cabin electric water pump in the 2023-2024 Fisker Ocean is an electric pump tied into the vehicle's thermal and electrical control systems. Its normal job is to move coolant when the cabin system needs it, while the battery management system, the computer that supervises high-voltage battery power, watches related signals from the pump.
On affected Oceans, the pump can fail in a way that interrupts communication on the vehicle's LIN6 network, a small communication line used by control modules. When the battery management system loses that signal, it enters limp mode and limits battery power to 8.5 kW. That reduced-power mode can cause a loss of drive power, even though battery power does not drop to 0 kW.
An owner will see a battery telltale indicator when this fault occurs. A "Battery Issue, Service Needed" message can also appear, but the message is not present every time.
Who's affected?
Covers 1 model across the 2023 and 2024 model years, with the same LHS cabin electric water pump in the high-voltage traction battery system.
| 2024 Fisker Ocean | high-voltage traction battery |

| Units affected | 7,545 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A sudden loss of drive power increases crash risk because the Ocean can lose acceleration while moving. If the battery telltale appears or power drops sharply, slow down, move out of traffic when safe, and arrange service soon. Repair is free at any franchised Fisker dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2024 Fisker Ocean is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Fisker dealer to schedule the free cabin electric water pump replacement that addresses the BMS limp-mode loss of drive power.
- Bring the recall notice if Fisker mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V499 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and leave extra following distance in case drive power drops.
- Call Fisker customer service at 1-844-347-5371 with questions, and reference Fisker recall TSB30032401.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Fisker technician replaces the cabin electric water pumps covered by the recall. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through Fisker's warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected vehicles are new and under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
