Evca recall: Equipment
What is wrong
EV-Charge America Ltd. (EVCA) is recalling certain electric vehicle charging stations produced from May 15, 2009, through August 15, 2012. Due to an improper relay, the electrical lead that connects to the vehicle may be energized even when the charging station is turned off.
What could happen
A user could suffer an electrical shock should they contact the electrical lead. This risk may exist even when the charging station is turned off.
The fix
EV-Charge America will notify owners and the units can be returned for repair or an EVCA technician will repair the unit(s) onsite, free of charge. The recall began in September 2012. Owners may contact EVCA at 1-702-278-8005.
