OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
13E018000
Electrical System:propulsion System:charging:cable/cord:accessory
Reported Apr 15, 2013 · Schneider Electric USA, Inc.
Summary
Schneider Electric is recalling certain EVlink electric vehicle charging stations manufactured from August 13, 2012, to March 17, 2013. The affected models are EV230PDRACG, EV230PDRACNG, EV230PDRACGC, EV230PSRACG, EV230PSRACNG, EV230PSRACGC, EV230WDRACG, EV230WDRACNG, EV230WS, EV230PDR, EV230PDRR, EV230PSR, EV230PSRR, EV230WSR, EV230WSRR, and EV240WS. In these units, the electric vehicle charging station's charger plug pin connectors may overheat, subsequently melting the thermoplastic casing around the pin connectors.
Consequence
In some cases, the generated heat is sufficient enough to cause damage to the car inlet, and/or damage to the charging station plug. This condition also may present a danger of burn if the user has direct contact with the overheated portion of the casing.
Remedy
Schneider Electric will notify owners and a Schneider Electric representative or trained electrical contractor will install a new cord-set free of charge. Owner notification began during April 2013. Owners may contact Schneider Electric at 1-877-283-7647.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
