What the hazard is
If a person makes direct contact with the overheated charge port pins immediately after a charging session, there is a risk of burns or serious injury.

Defect
Vehicles that are fitted with a Combined Charging System (CCS2) charge port may experience increased electrical resistance during high-power Direct Current (DC) fast charging causing the internal charging pins to overheat. Note: Please avoid charging the vehicle using DC fast chargers. Use AC (Alternating Current) charging instead.
