Fisker Karma battery poses ‘potential safety issue’ for roughly 50 autos, fix already in tow

Fisker Karma battery poses potential safety issue for roughly 50 autos, fix already in tow
Fisker has seen its fair proportion of delays on its Karma EV prior to now, and now ”fewer than 50″ of the vehicles — which if you’ll recall, cost over $100K — are in danger for battery malfunction. In step with Bloomberg Businessweek, A123 (the corporate which gives the car’s power pack) has issued a memo to customers and stakeholders, noting that “in rare circumstances” the car’s batts could short-circuit caused by coolant leakage from “misaligned hose clamps.” A123 further explained that’s already begun repairing the Karma’s in question, and doesn’t expect to experience to strain its relationship with Fisker because of the problem. Notably, Bloomberg also reports that 25 of the automobiles get assembled daily, with about 225 currently en-path to showroom floors — a much cry from the company’s earlier estimates for the 2011 production year. You will find A123′s full PDF memo on the source link below.
