What's the real warranty coverage for the 110V Charge Cord?

I have a 2012 Volt with 81,000 miles on it. My 110V charger is doing the "blown fuse" thing, no lights no matter what outlet you try.

I've seen both on the forums -- so which warranty applies to the Voltec charger that comes with the car?

My dealer won't say whether something is covered until they diagnose it. Since I have a L2 charger at home and work, I haven't taken anything in to them yet -- but holiday travel season is approaching...

If it's not a covered item, I'm not going to pay dealer prices for a replacement.

Should it be covered? Any tips on what to say or do to make the process easier?

Bumper to bumper. Even though it has "Voltec" on it, it is NOT covered under the Voltec drivetrain warranty.

You might be able to convince a franchised dealership to replace it, and you might be able to get a Volt Advisor to get it replaced. However, it isn't covered under the extended Voltec warranty.

Got mine replaced under the Voltec warranty. That covers anything related to the electric half of the car.

Mine was replaced at 99k.

There was a service bulletin/recall on that cordset several years ago. Many got it replaced at the dealer that way. I think if you have an orange three prong plug, you still have the old original one.

There were actually two different styles with orange cords. The original had all orange cord (both ends) , whereas the replacement only had orange from the wall to the black charger box and black from the box to the car.

The most current design is all black cord on both ends.
