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.

49,000 Ford Focus Electric, Fusion Energi and C-Max Energi Cars: Recall
Alert August 22, 2018 Patrick Masterson
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 49,000 model-year 2012-15 Ford Focus
Electric and model-year 2013-15 Fusion Energi and C-Max Energi electric
vehicles equipped with 120-volt convenience charge cords
The Problem: Using the originally provided 120-volt convenience charge cord
with an AC outlet that is not on a dedicated circuit or is damaged, worn or
corroded may result in increased temperature at the wall outlet, increasing
the risk of a fire.
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.
