Recall 24V623 affects 7,745 2023-2024 Fisker Ocean vehicles for reduced regenerative braking. Fisker provides a free over-the-air software update to correct it.
Fisker is recalling 7,745 2023-2024 Ocean vehicles because brake module software can unexpectedly reduce regenerative braking and decrease braking performance. Longer stopping distance increases the risk of a crash, and Fisker dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?
The brake software in the 2023-2024 Fisker Ocean helps manage how the vehicle slows down. Regenerative braking uses resistance from the electric motor to slow the vehicle and recover energy, while the friction brakes use the service brake system to clamp the wheels and provide normal stopping force.
On affected Oceans, braking over bumps can cause a brief drop in regenerative braking torque. That drop lasts for a few milliseconds and happens when road disturbance triggers drag torque control. The driver still has full friction brake power, but the sudden loss of regenerative braking reduces expected braking performance.
The warning sign is a brief change in brake feel while braking over bumps. The vehicle can feel as if it is accelerating, even though no actual acceleration occurs and Fisker testing found no loss of friction brake function.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2023 and 2024 Ocean, with both model years tied to the same brake-system software.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Decreased braking performance can lengthen stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash. When braking over bumps, the vehicle can feel like it is accelerating because regenerative braking drops briefly, even though friction braking remains available. Keep steady brake pressure and schedule the software update. 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.
- Install the free OTA brake-module software update that fixes the unexpected reduction in regenerative braking.
- Call Fisker customer service at 1-844-347-5371 if the update is not complete, and reference recall number 24V623.
- Bring the recall notice if Fisker mailed one, or keep recall number 24V623 with your service notes.
- Drive cautiously until the update is complete. Leave extra following distance because reduced regenerative braking can increase stopping distance.
What happens at the repair
Fisker provides the recall repair as a free over-the-air software update. The update corrects the brake module software tied to unexpected loss of regenerative braking, so a dealer visit is not the main repair path unless Fisker gives you separate service instructions. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through Fisker's warranty program, not a separate reimbursement program, because these vehicles are new and the software remedy has to come from Fisker and its software supplier.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 24V623?
Recall 24V623 covers 7,745 2023-2024 Fisker Ocean vehicles with brake module software that can unexpectedly reduce regenerative braking. The reduced braking performance can extend stopping distance and raise crash risk. Fisker will provide a free over-the-air software update.
What should I do if my 2023-2024 Fisker Ocean is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Ocean is included in recall 24V623. If it is, install the free over-the-air software update from Fisker. For help with the update, contact Fisker customer service at 1-844-347-5371 and reference recall 24V623.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. Fisker will provide the brake module software update free of charge, and the remedy is listed as available for affected 2023-2024 Ocean vehicles.
What is the safety risk?
The risk is reduced braking performance. If regenerative braking drops unexpectedly, the vehicle can need more distance to stop, which raises the risk of a crash. The recall remedy is a free software update for the brake module.
When were owners notified about recall 24V623?
Fisker mailed owner notification letters on September 26, 2024. If you bought the Ocean used or never received a letter, check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included, then contact Fisker for update instructions.
