GT Charging Cord FailureI have a 2021 Corsair GT. The OEM charging cord has failed. I had my vehicle plugged in and it started charging. Sometime during the charging process the cord failed. Fortunately, I had to go to my garage to retrieve something and noticed both the charging port light on the vehicle and the LED on the charging cord were flashing red. I unplugged the cord from my vehicle and then unplugged with cord from the outlet. The plug was extremely hot with the prongs being hot as branding irons.
The service manager at my dealership advised me there had been several reports of thermal events and that I should immediately stop using my spare cord as well as there could be a fire.
I contacted my dealership and was provided a new cord. It is completely different from the OEM cord I was given. The electrical circuit requirements are for a much higher amperage circuit and a completely different plug. I ended up having the circuit rewired at great expense.
I have contacted Lincoln Concierge to see if they would help cover the cost for rewiring since the part that was under warranty failed and the new one required a high amperage circuit and outlet. They are refusing any assistance and deny any culpability.
Has anyone else with a similar cord as shown in this link experienced the same overheating issue?
