Fisker Automotive Inc., which is beginning to sell plug-in electric sports cars, said it is recalling 239 Karma cars in the U.S. because of a battery defect supplier A123 Systems Inc. announced last week.
Misplaced hose clamps in the batteries could cause coolant to leak and potentially cause fires in all Karmas produced so far, Fisker, based in Anaheim, California, said in a notice posted today to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website. A123 disclosed the defect Dec. 23.
