Agero Vehicle Training - Fisker Karma Vehicle Recovery Eyes


We continue our series on the Fisker Karma with some insight on removing and replacing the vehicle’s “recovery eyes” - located on the front bumper of the vehicle.

PLEASE NOTE: Under no circumstances should the vehicle be towed using the vehicle recovery eye. Doing so can cause significant damage to the vehicle.

A vehicle recovery eye can be used to allow the vehicle to be pulled onto a transporter in situations when the vehicle can roll freely.

1. The suggested tool to remove the recovery eye attachment cover is a plastic vehicle eye remover “bone” tool or a flat bladed screw driver with a clean piece of cloth over the edge (in order to avoid damage to the body). This screw driver should be a thin bladed screw driver with a blade width of approximately 3/8” or 10mm.

2. The end of the bone tool or screwdriver blade needs to be inserted at the 12 O’clock position to align with the retaining tab of the recovery eye attachment cover. While placing a finger between the tool shaft and the bumper fascia, simultaneously press inward and pry out the cover. Please take care to not damage the fascia or the cover.

3. The recovery eye attachment cover has a retaining tab located at the 12 O’clock position and a tongue located at the 6 O’clock position, as well as a tether attaching it to the fascia. Ensure the cover is properly aligned before reinstallation.

Note: As a reminder, for the Fisker Karma the vehicle recovery eye can be used only to allow the vehicle to be pulled onto a transporter in situations when the vehicle can roll freely. Never tow the vehicle using the vehicle recovery eye.
