More Bad Publicity for Electric Vehicles: Fisker To Recall Karma Electric Vehicles Due to Fire Hazard

The New York Times Reports that:

"Fisker Automotive is recalling all 239 of its 2012 Karma luxury plug-in hybrid cars because of a fire hazard, according to a report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Prices on the 2012 model start at $103,000, including the destination charge...

[i]n a report filed recently on the agency’s Web site, Fisker said some hose clamps were not properly positioned, which could allow a coolant leak."
