The U.S. auto safety regulator closed its probe into 6,971 Fisker Ocean SUVs on Friday over inadvertent activation of the automatic emergency braking system, as it does not expect to get further information from the bankrupt EV maker.

Fisker filed for bankruptcy protection in June, citing a hyper-competitive EV market and operational challenges that hurt its ability to stem cash burn and raise additional funds.
