Great Wall - On affected vehicles if the auxiliary charge (3 pin) cable is used with household extension leads and or substandard domestic wall sockets for an extended period there is a possibility of the auxiliary charge cable 3 pin plug having a high electrical resistance causing excessive heat build-up. This in extreme cases may cause a failure of the 3-pin cable. If the vehicle is unlocked via the remote fob key during the ac charging process voltage is still present for a further 15 seconds within the charge socket. If the cable is unplugged from the car within this 15 second window there is a possibility of an electrical spark occurring.
