The issue
Certain plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles were supplied with a 120V convenience charge cord that may be susceptible to overheating if there is a poor connection at the electrical outlet. This could result in increased cord temperatures, melting, and an increased risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the factory supplied 120V convenience cord with the latest version of the cord that includes thermal protection.
Description (français)
Certains véhicules hybrides rechargeables et électriques ont été dotés d'un câble de chargement d'appoint de 120 V qui pourrait surchauffer s'il n'est pas branché correctement à la prise électrique. Le câble pourrait alors fondre et augmenter les risques d'incendie pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le câble de chargement d'appoint de 120 V fourni à l'origine par le dernier modèle de câble avec protection thermique.
