The California-based company conducted a full investigation with the help of a fire expert from Pacific Rim Investigative Services Group and found that the blaze originated in the car's low-speed cooling fan.
As a result of the fire Fisker is conducting a voluntary recall that affects all Karma models sold to date. Dealers will replace the cooling fan with an updated one and add an extra fuse to the system for protection.
The startup automaker made it clear that the fire was not due to the Karma's battery pack, engine or unorthodox exhaust routing.
Mr. Rudy Burger, the owner of the cremated Karma, said that he was impressed with how quickly and efficiently Fisker dealt with the problem.
"Fisker is a great company and one that I am personally planning to invest in. I look forward to getting behind the wheel of my next Fisker," said Burger.
