2023 GWM Ora: electrical arc between charging plug and vehicle

In December 2023, recall REC-005843 was issued for 2023 GWM Ora vehicles. Due to a programming error, if the operator removed the charging cable without cancelling the charge, an electrical arc between the charging plug and the vehicle may occur. If an electrical arc came into contact with the operator or bystanders, it posed a risk of serious injury and death. To fix, a GWM dealer was to update the vehicle’s software. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005843.
