In a final attempt to save the business, Fisker has sought bankruptcy protection in the United States. The day before, all cars were recalled.
Fishermen have big problems. And it's not just from an economic point of view. The car brand, which cannot pay its bills and has to pay back large loans, also has several headaches out on the roads.

For the car brand, whose future looks somewhat bleak, recalls are nothing new. There have been plenty of problems, and indeed some that Boosted reader Jesper can recognise. Read more about it here .
