Fusion Energi recall 23V-440

Recommended Posts

Well, I got a recall notice above - with no resolution described, but promised for a future date.  The described fault / risk is that the Battery Energy Control module can fail due to overvoltage / current overload.  The immediate work-around is to stop the plug-in, with a promise of some future fix.  That makes the Energi compromise (lack of luggage space) really had to swallow.  My typical driving pattern is within the daily plug-in range, so it's several months between gasoline purchases.

 

Now, the charger I have been using can throttle the current - the current observed max has been 14 amps (from the 240 volt circuit), topping up the battery in a couple of hours.  IDK if the risk is just with the Ford-branded charger, or what the exact scenario is.  That new Prius Prime is looking more appealing with each of Ford's mess-ups...

Well, the saga continues. 

 

Got a letter from Ford today for a $250 offer for 'not charging your vehicle'.  OK, then.

 

So I guess that indicates that the 'fix' is nowhere near?
