LECTRON'S NACS TO CCS1 ADAPTER HAS BEEN RECALLED - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT

EV Channels Review

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for the Lectron Vortex NACS to CCS1 adapter due to a defect in the latching mechanism. The issue, affecting units produced between March 14th and April 8th, stems from a supplier error where the latch pin deviates from the intended design, potentially allowing the adapter to be forcibly removed without depressing the NACS latch. This poses a risk of electrical events and injury. The reviewer demonstrates the issue, comparing it to the official Tesla and A2Z adapters, highlighting that while his initial unit (outside the defect window) seemed robust, a later unit within the affected production dates exhibited the problem. Lectron, under its parent company Drop Cases Limited, is offering a free replacement for affected units and may reimburse customers who purchased alternative adapters. The reviewer plans a follow-up with Lectron's CEO to discuss the incident and regain customer confidence, emphasizing the importance of safety and upcoming UL certification for such adapters.
