In a news statement, Fisker, in accordance with the guidelines of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), announced it is recalling Fisker Karma passenger cars manufactured from July 1 2011 – November 3, 2001. The issue is that within the high voltage battery, certain hose clamps have been incorrectly positioned. This defect could eventually lead to coolant leak from the cooling hoses. A coolant leak could potentially result in an electrical short and may cause an engine compartment fire. Owners are being asked to schedule an appointment at their local dealership, where dealers will replace the high-voltage battery with a new part without cost.

As a Harrisburg personal injury lawyer, I have past experience with similar recalled defective auto parts and the potential injuries they can cause. This is why I feel it is imperative to relay the important information from the NHTSA to a wider audience, to hopefully help stave off avoidable injuries. If you’ve sustained an injury in an accident that you think was the result of a defective auto part, contact a personal injury lawyer in your town to learn more about your rights as a consumer.
