What's wrong?
The affected part is vehicle software on the 2023-2024 Fisker Ocean. That software helps manage gear selection and the brake-hold function, which is meant to keep the vehicle from moving when the driver expects it to stay stopped. When it works correctly, the Ocean shifts into the selected gear and holds position as commanded.
On affected Oceans, the software does not always put the transmission into the gear the driver selected. The vehicle can roll away while Drive or Reverse is selected, even though the driver has chosen a gear and expects normal control. The recall identifies software behavior, not a broken mechanical part, as the issue.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign can be unexpected movement after selecting Drive or Reverse, so treat any rollaway behavior as part of the recall problem.
Who's affected?
Covers the Ocean across the 2023 and 2024 model years, with the same hydraulic brake system software listed for both years.
