More Chariots On Fire: Fisker Hybrid Vehicles Now Recalled

Fisker recalls 2,400 Karmas for cooling problems due to bad fan; results in vehicle fire.

Fisker Automotive, a green car company that received funding from the U.S. government, is recalling about 2,400 Karma plug-in hybrids to repair a faulty cooling fan unit that was the cause of a vehicle fire in Woodside, California last week.

The Anaheim, California-based automaker, founded in 2007, said the August 10 fire began in front of the left wheel, where the low temperature cooling fan is located. An "internal fault" caused the sealed unit to fail, starting a slow burning fire, Fisker said in a statement on Saturday.

Looks like an easy fix. Provided as a public service announcement.
