recreational vechicle cord cap

[gjgforce]

Trying to find in Art.550 requirement for replacing RV power supply cord cap. I thought that in previous nec's that a new cord set was required over just replacing damaged and or burnt cord cap.

The current RV trailer has a 30' 10/3 SO cord with a MALE 30amp RV configuration 120-volt that plugs into the RV pedestal...my question is, can just the damaged male cord cap be replace or does the code require the whole cord and molded cord cap to be replaced????
