In the linked article, the adapter has a Ford logo on the side in the pictures. I have two adapters, one sent earlier and one more recent. Neither has a Ford logo, and they look identical except the numbers on them. I'm guessing the one on the right is the newer "fixed" one due to the numbers being higher, or I have two of the older version.

They recommend you don't use the old one and send it back. There is a defect in it. keep the newer one return the older one in the sleeve they provided with the new device shipment.

I have one of the original (Tesla-manufactured) adapters. Is Ford still sending those out or selling them?

In 2020, Pfizer created a vaccine based on novel tech that literally saved humanity in less time and didn’t brag as much about it.

Oh trust me, the actual inventors, and the institution they worked at, most assuredly DID “brag” about it. In fact, two people won a Nobel prize ?

Ford produced two different adapters. One with Tesla (you have two of those in the picture), and one with Lectron. If you got the one on the left (lower serial number that is in late May (148)) in June, Ford would have shipped you a new adapter AND it would have included a return label and pouch for returning the old one. It would have been impossible to miss.

They recommend you don't use the old one and send it back. There is a defect in it. keep the newer one return the older one in the sleeve they provided with the new device shipment.
Right. The new one is on the right with 287 in the number (October).

No.

I don't remember seeing a return label with the more recent package. My concern is that I could have gotten a second "non fixed" version. I have not used either.

Question - do you own 2 Ford EVs (I do)? If not, then the 2nd adapter is a replacement. I got 2 replacements, and one had no note in it, just a label.

Each adapter has a code on it that includes a Julian date. The one on your left is the likely "recalled" adapter (not an official recall), with the date 24148 imbedded in the number. The one on the right is fine, with the date 24287. You will see that the model is also different, one is 00-D and the other is 21-D.

On the older one, go get a pair of pliers and bend the pins on the Tesla side until the are badly bent or break of. Write on it "DEFECTIVE" in permanent ink. Then, throw it away.

if you still have the box for the replacement, check it there is a thin bag in it for you to use to return it back to Ford. If not yes make it defective and throw it away.

The device isn't the kind of technology that impresses most journalists. But I would be very leery of designing a product that handles hundreds of kW between two plug interfaces, to be handled by the general public outdoors and unsupervised. There are lots of ways to screw that up, particularly while engineering for cost and compactness.

As @RickMachE said, the one on the left is the older one (May 27, 2024 date) which may be affected by the request for return by Ford. Don't use it. If you cannot find the return packaging that Ford sent you with the replacement adapter, just destroy it. ??

I was in the 300 range so received it early. When the recall occurred Ford said it wasn't all of them and you would be notified if yours was recalled. I never received the notice so have continued to use the original one I received.

Ford is now selling / shipping the Ford badged adapter made by Lectron. As for the Tesla made adapters, they're all fine. They did have one batch of Tesla adapters they recalled where they sent out replacements when they identified a possible issue with the production of that specific batch. People who were part of the recall were supposed to be notified and then shipped an adapter with the expectation they would return the first one they had received.
