The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary probe into the 2023 Fisker Ocean after receiving complaints about the doors. The Office of Defects Investigation received 14 complaints about doors that failed to open, with the problem reportedly related to a latch/handle failure. Some owners claim the emergency override mechanism failed, which could be dangerous under certain circumstances.
It's worth noting this is not a full-blown investigation, as the NHTSA still has to determine whether there is a consistent problem.
