Problem Description
If a 220V/240V wall plug becomes overburdened when the compact/portable charging system cable is being used to charge the high-voltage batteries in the vehicle, the home wiring can become overheated. If this happens, overheating of the home infrastructure can eventually cause permanent damage to the house socket and charging cable.
Corrective Action
Remove and destroy the 220V/240V compact/portable charging cable from the Compact/Portable Charging System.
Precautions
The recall only affects the 220V/240V compact/portable charging cable. The compact/portable charging unit and 110V home charging cable are not affected by this recall.
As a reminder, the vehicle owner’s manual contains important information about charging the vehicle. We encourage owners and anyone who drives the vehicle to review the owner’s manual to become familiar with this important information.
