What happened

Ford Motor Company is recalling 120V convenience charge cords supplied with and sold for 2013-2015 Ford C-Max Energi and Fusion Energi vehicles and 2012-2015 Ford Focus Electric vehicles. The affected cords, which have part numbers FM58-10B706-AA through FM58-10B706-AF, were manufactured without thermistors. During vehicle charging, if there is increased resistance in the house's outlet or wiring, the cord can overheat and melt, creating a fire risk.

To remedy the issue, Ford will notify owners and dealers will replace the current cord with a new 120V convenience cord equipped with a thermistor at no charge. The recall began January 18, 2019. Affected owners should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 to arrange the replacement, and may reference Ford recall number 18S24.
