A UK product safety report has been issued for certain Wallbox Pulsar Max electric vehicle chargers after a manufacturing defect was found that could cause internal electrical connections to overheat.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards published the official notice on Wednesday, 2 September 2026.
The affected product is the Wallbox Pulsar Max UK Electric Vehicle Charging Point, model PLP2-0-2-2-F-xxx.
The government safety report identifies affected units as those mounted with part number 08 911 02* EV-gun.
The chargers are wall-mounted Mode 3 electric vehicle charging stations incorporating PEN fault detection and were manufactured in Spain.
According to the Office for Product Safety and Standards, a manufacturing defect affecting the charger’s internal output terminal block can cause internal electrical connections to overheat during use.
The defect may also reduce the lifespan of the charger.
The government has classified the overall risk level as low, with fire identified as the potential hazard.
It is important to note that the official action is described as a modification programme rather than a blanket recall of every Wallbox Pulsar Max charger.
Wallbox SLU and Wallbox UK Limited have contacted owners of affected products directly to inform them of the issue.
A software update will be issued and affected chargers will subsequently be inspected.
Repairs or replacement components will be provided where necessary.
Owners who believe their charger may be affected should check communications received from Wallbox or their installer and contact Wallbox Customer Support for further information.

The Pulsar Max is one of Wallbox’s connected home charging products and is designed to allow EV owners to manage and schedule charging sessions using the company’s app.
Wallbox’s support information shows that the Pulsar Max PLP2 remains part of the company’s actively supported charger range, with software updates continuing to be issued during 2026.
The latest government notice therefore provides important clarification for owners following earlier reports of safety concerns involving some installations.
Consumers should not assume that every Pulsar Max charger is affected solely because it carries the same product name.
The government notice provides specific model and component identifiers, and Wallbox says affected owners are being contacted directly.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards has recorded the case under product safety notification number 2608-0025.
The formal alert and modification programme are both dated 2 September 2026.
EV home chargers routinely handle substantial electrical loads for several hours at a time, making correctly installed and functioning internal connections particularly important.
The corrective programme is designed to address the manufacturing defect through software changes alongside physical inspection, repair or replacement where required.
Drivers with an affected charger should follow the instructions provided directly by Wallbox rather than attempting to inspect or repair electrical components themselves.
