2023 Fisker Ocean, VIN [XXX]. Open recalls 24V499 (water pump) and 24V466 (door handles). I first requested recall service XXX from [XXX]; only an automatic logging reply followed. I followed up XXX and XXX, and again XXX, asking when/where the work could be scheduled or whether Fisker would send the parts so I could perform the work myself. No scheduling contact has been received in five months. The door-handle defect is now progressing — the white part is starting to break. I am reporting that the recall remedy has not been provided within a reasonable time and asking the federal safety agency to record the failure to remedy. Please share this complaint with the manufacturer. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
