Wow, if we could get our hands on all those RETURNED L1 EVSE's! We could use them in permanent installations for L1 charging.
I would hate for them to all be recalled and trashed.

Ford said it is aware of some fire reports. The Fix: Dealers will replace the factory-equipped 120-volt convenience charge cord with the latest version of the 120-volt convenience cord that includes a thermistor, which can identify over-temperature conditions at the plug or outlet interface. The repair will be done for free. What Owners Should Do: Ford did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 866-436-7332, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
