DETROIT -- Electric-car maker Fisker Automotive is recalling about 2,400 Karma sports sedans to fix cooling fans that can catch fire.

The recall comes after Fisker and a private fire investigation firm finished probing an Aug. 10 fire in a Karma in Woodside, Calif.

Fisker Automotive Inc. has recalled every Karma sedan that’s on the road right now in order to fix a flawed cooling fan that was linked to a recent fire. And considering that it’s a $103,000 vehicle, this can’t possibly be going well with the limited number of owners Fisker has. According to the electric automaker, a fault in the fan in the car’s front left corner can overheat and cause a slow-burning fire – that’s exactly what happened to the vehicle in Woodside, California.

Fisker dealers will contact customers, who also will get letters from the company. The Anaheim, Calif., company says cooling fans will be replaced and another fuse installed for added protection. Fisker said it is working with the company that supplied the fan.
