Bought a Lectron off Amazon - 2 days later got this safety notice

[LariatLarry]

Needed an adapter quickly, so purchased a Lectron through Amazon. Got it quickly, seemed super robust, heavy duty. Used it twice, worked. The got this notice this morning… ugh. I purchased the Lectron thinking it should be fine, i.e. Ford is partnering with them. And somewhat shocked that they would continue to be selling them with this recall in place? Thought they had resolved this issue?

This looks like Amazon had a warehouse of this and has continued to sale and ship them, followed by a recall notice. That is pretty sh@ty, if that is the case.

I say that because the original date of the recall is back in April, 2024.

I had one in my cart and was going to buy for our first out of town trip 12/9. Just disappeared from my cart and the listing is completely gone. Now I have to figure out which one of the alternatives I'll have to buy.

I got the same email an hour ago. The serial numbers on the recall do not match up with my adapter at all (my S/N is ANC3B8##### while the ranges in the recall notice are all completely numerical).

So I have a feeling it's Amazon shotgunning it to everyone like they did with an Anker powerbank a month or two ago (got a followup email from them saying it was a mistake).

At any rate, I sent an email to the email address in the notice asking about it, giving them my S/N. Suggest you do the same and report back.

I'll update later when I hear back.

There's a pretty nice video in the first post that probably explains what the original problem was. Going to hit up a Tesla supercharger sometime this week and see if mine has the same problem. Sticking something in there, it appears that the catch is installed correctly, but won't trust it until I have a real NACS connector plugged into it and try to pull it out.
