2023-2024 Fisker Ocean Tire Mobility Kit: Your Guide to the Only Factory Flat Tire Solution
Since the Fisker Ocean has no spare tire, this guide covers the essential checks for the standard tire mobility kit, including known issues with leaking sealant.
- The Fisker Ocean has no spare tire; the Tire Repair Kit (compressor and sealant) is the only factory solution for a flat.
- When buying a used kit, the most critical check is the expiration date on the sealant canister.
- A known issue exists where sealant canisters can leak; inspect any canister carefully and store it in a sealed plastic bag as a precaution.
- The standard Tire Repair Kit is different from the optional 'Emergency Kit,' which contained items like a warning triangle and first-aid supplies.
Understanding the Fisker Ocean's Included Kits
When discussing tool kits for the 2023-2024 Fisker Ocean, it's important to distinguish between the two different kits that may be found in the vehicle. One is standard equipment, while the other was an optional extra with a history of inconsistent delivery.
Standard Tire Repair Kit (Tire Mobility Kit)
Every Fisker Ocean was delivered with a Tire Repair Kit. This is the most critical kit, as it's the only factory tool for dealing with a flat tire. It is typically located in the deep well of the trunk, under the folding cargo organizer. The kit includes two main components:
- Air Compressor: A 12-volt electric pump used to inflate the tire.
- Tire Sealant Canister: A bottle of a chemical compound that is injected into the tire to seal small punctures from the inside.
Optional Emergency Kit
Fisker also offered a separate, optional "Emergency Kit" for about $70. This was a soft, branded bag containing general roadside safety items. Contents included a folding warning triangle, a high-visibility vest, and basic first-aid supplies. During the initial vehicle deliveries, there were many owner reports of ordering this kit but not receiving it, or receiving it separately via mail much later. This kit is not essential for vehicle operation but is a nice-to-have for roadside safety.
Known Issues and Recalls
While there are no formal NHTSA recalls for the Tire Repair Kit itself, owners have reported a significant issue with the sealant canister.
Leaking Tire Sealant Canister
A notable problem reported by early Fisker Ocean owners is a "bad batch" of tire sealant canisters that were prone to leaking. The leak often originates from a loose top connector on the canister. If the sealant leaks, it can create a mess in the trunk storage area. Some owners had these faulty canisters replaced by Fisker mobile technicians. Due to this known issue, it is highly recommended to store the canister inside a sealed plastic bag as a precaution.
Warning: The tire sealant has an expiration date printed on the canister. Do not use sealant that is past its expiration date, as it may not properly seal a puncture, increasing the risk of tire failure. This is one of the most important checks when buying a used kit.
Symptoms of a Faulty or Incomplete Kit
"Failure" for a tool kit relates to its readiness for an emergency. Key problems to look for include:
- Missing Components: The kit should contain both the compressor and the sealant canister. Often, previous owners may have used the sealant and not replaced it.
- Expired Sealant: The chemical sealant has a limited shelf life. An expired canister is unreliable and should be replaced.
- Leaking Sealant: A canister that is actively leaking or shows signs of dried residue is defective and should not be stored in the vehicle without being contained.
- Inoperative Compressor: The air compressor can fail electrically or have physical damage like a cracked housing or frayed power cord.
Buying a Used 2023-2024 Fisker Ocean Trunk Tool Kit
Given Fisker's bankruptcy, sourcing new OEM parts can be difficult, making the used market a primary source for replacements. When purchasing a used Tire Repair Kit, a careful inspection is crucial.
Inspection Checklist:
- Verify Contents: Ensure both the air compressor and the sealant canister are present. An eBay listing for a used kit shows the OEM part number as FM2920700104B for the set.
- Check Sealant Expiration Date: This is the most critical step. The date is printed on the canister label. If it's expired, you will need to purchase a new canister.
- Inspect for Leaks: Carefully examine the sealant canister, especially around the cap and seams, for any wetness or dried, sticky residue. Even if it looks fine, plan to store it in a heavy-duty zip-top bag.
- Examine the Compressor: Check the compressor's plastic housing for cracks. Inspect the power cord and 12V plug for any damage, and ensure the air hose and connector are intact.
- Test the Compressor (If Possible): If you can, plug the compressor into a 12V outlet to confirm it powers on and runs.
Pro Tip: Many owners choose to supplement or replace the factory kit with a higher-quality aftermarket tire plug kit and a separate portable compressor. A plug kit can often repair larger punctures than sealant can, and it is a more durable temporary fix.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the 2023-2024 Fisker Ocean have a spare tire?
No, the Fisker Ocean does not come with a spare tire. It relies on the included Tire Repair Kit, which contains sealant and a compressor for temporary puncture repair.
Can I use any brand of tire sealant in my Fisker Ocean?
Fisker officially recommends using only their authorized sealant canisters. However, in an emergency, any high-quality tire sealant designed for TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors should work as a temporary fix. Be aware that some tire shops may charge extra to clean the sealant out of the tire and wheel during a permanent repair.
What is the part number for the Fisker Ocean tire repair kit?
Based on used parts listings, a common part number for the tire inflator and compressor kit is FM2920700104B.
Do I need special tools to change a tire on a Fisker Ocean?
While you cannot change a tire on the side of the road due to the lack of a spare, if you are taking the wheel off at home or a shop, you may need special jack pads or 'pucks' to lift the vehicle safely without damaging the battery pack. Some owners report that skilled technicians can lift it without pucks, but using them is the safest method to avoid damage to the lift points.
