Plain-English summary

ZH Brothers International Inc. is recalling certain Epicord 50-amp Shore Power Inlets, part number 93379. The recall affects approximately 3,000 units. The defect involves lug bolts that may have been manufactured with excessively hard metal, which prevents them from being tightened properly. This results in a loose wiring connection.

Loose wiring can cause an electrical arc or short, which increases the risk of a fire. No specific vehicle models or dates of manufacture are listed in the source text, but the component is used in recreational vehicles and trailers.

ZH Brothers will work with affected vehicle manufacturers to inspect and replace the 50-amp inlet free of charge. Letters to manufacturers and distributors were mailed on April 6, 2022.
