Introduction
Recalls are a common occurrence in the automotive industry, and the 2023 Fisker Ocean is no exception. In this particular case, all 6,864 examples of the 2023 Ocean are being recalled to fix the fonts and colors of some warning lights. While this may seem like a minor issue, it is important for ensuring that warnings are easily understandable and comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Rectifying Font and Color Issues
The recall for the 2023 Fisker Ocean focuses on the font size and color of warning lights displayed on the car’s screens. Specifically, the font size for the brake, park, and ABS warning indicators was deemed too small, the brake warning lights were in amber instead of red, and some tire pressure warning light operations were incorrect. While these may seem like insignificant details, they are crucial for ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers.
Compliance with Federal Regulations

Failure to comply with these regulations can result in a recall to rectify the issues. In the case of the Fisker Ocean, the recall aims to bring the vehicles into federal compliance by updating the fonts, colors, and operation of the warning lights.
