An investigation of a Karma catching on fire found that the cooling fan failed, causing overheating that eventually led to flames.
The company stated that the recall had nothing to do with it's lithium ion battery.
Completely dependent upon government funding, the company is struggling, with this second recall of their hundred thousand dollar car.
Earlier this year they were recalled due to an issue with coolant leaking, which could also start a fire.
A hybrid car, Karmas are capable of thirty to forty miles on battery power.
Only about a thousand of the cars have been sold, since they came out last fall.
