What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: electric vehicles. These vehicles were built with a drive motor charger receptacle assembly that was incompletely sealed. Incomplete sealing can allow water to intrude into the circuit board.

Possible consequence

During charging a short circuit could occur. An arc at the short circuit can generate enough heat to create smoke and/or a flame. If a flame occurs, a fire could result.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the drive motor battery charger receptacle assembly and replace it, if necessary.
