What can go wrong

Affected vehicles may have been supplied with a charging cable that was not according to specification (a risk of a wrong safety calibration feature of the temperature sensor of the charging cable pins). In the most serious case this could lead to a thermal incident during charging.

The fix

Check charge cable date and replace if necessary.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.

On this page we also replaced a word that reads as a rating or an endorsement with a plain one. We list a recall when its make and model match a car or van family with at least 1,000 DVSA MOT tests from 2022 to 2025, and when the maker of the vehicle issued it.
