## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 120V Convenience charge cords that were supplied with and sold for use with 2013\-2015 Ford C\-Max Energi and Fusion Energi vehicles and 2012\-2015 Ford Focus Electric vehicles.  Cords with part numbers FM58\-10B706\-AA, FM58\-10B706\-AB, FM58\-10B706\-AC, FM58\-10B706\-AD, FM58\-10B706\-AE and FM58\-10B706\-AF were manufactured without thermistors, and during vehicle charging, increased resistance in the house's outlet or wiring can cause the cord to overheat and melt.


## What can happen

An overheated cord can increase the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the current cord with a new 120V convenience cord with a thermistor, free of charge.  The recall began January 18, 2019.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 18S24.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
