(Credit: Fisker) Although there have been no reports of problems so far, Fisker is recalling 239 Karma plug-in hybrid sports cars due to a high-voltage battery problem that could result in a fire.
The problem with the luxury plug-in hybrid is that certain hose clamps may have been positioned incorrectly during assembly, which could cause a coolant leak near the battery compartment.
According to the the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: "If coolant enters the battery compartment, an electrical short could occur possible resulting in a fire."
Fisker plans to notify customers, and dealerships will replace the high-voltage battery with a new part at no cost. Costumers can call Fisker at 1-855-575-7577, option 2, for more information.
