Same. I got a June adapter and the email. I’m looking forward to the replacement.

So are these the adapters like we were waiting seven months to get that we finally got, because I didn’t see an email saying that not to use the adapter?

Your adapter may not be covered. It doesn’t appear at this time to cover every adapter issued.

If you’re particularly paranoid, like me, check your spam and junk folders on the email account you have linked to Ford.

Yeah, I checked all that and like I said the first time I used mine I could not see any problem with it. It actually clipped on smooth and plugged in even smoother so how it could damage and not quite sure?

I did NOT get this emai. My adapter was recieved in April 2024.

I would recommend checking your address in FordPass to make sure it's updated in case there was a mix up. Also check your spam for email.

Yes, I just go that aswell:

It no wonder Ford vehicles are so expensive, they have to do everything twice.

If the adapter is at issue for having a defect I’d say that’s on the vendor, i.e. Tesla, not Ford.

If I didn’t receive this email today from Ford is my adapter good?? I received mine in September.

Are all 15,000+ owners who got the adapter and the email going to reply to this thread saying "yep, I got an email, too?"

We have confirmation from several of the first batch recipients that they have not gotten this notice. So far, it looks to be isolated to the second batch. You know, the first batch that was made by people who were hired on after Elon fired everyone on the Supercharger team. ??

This appears to be a second batch issue (June shipments). So far all of the respondents with April shipments have responded in the negative. ??

I have not received the email or my adapter.

Doing my part.

These are sourced from Tesla. It’s why the rollout included so many delays since Elon fired the entire Supercharger team right after this was announced. ??

EDIT: I guess Rivian and GM will be recalling their Tesla-sourced adapters too. ??

I think you’re correct that this will spill over to GM and Rivian. Likely more delays in shipping to those who haven’t received one at all, presuming Ford backfills the replacement units prior to new, “first time”, shipments.

It means that your adapter wasn’t in the batch that was identified to be problematic. So far we are only seeing confirmations from second batch recipients. ??

I received it this AM. I believe my adapter was from the second batch

 

[narmstrong79]

It's both of them. Ford should have tested this, and not shipped it if it wasn't up to par.

Nah, It's Tesla (outsourced to China most likely) made for use on Tesla superchargers to enable Tesla Revenue potential and give Tesla access to Government funding. I am not a believer in Ford quality in general but this isn't a Ford issue.

Possibly not to GM since it was just Rivian and Ford in that second batch. If the third batch gets identified as well, then GM too. ??
