The affected product lines are 200W, 250W, 260W, 7xx and 7xxT, with the xx representing a two digit number. The recall was issued due to the possibility of overheating. The issue is a result of the battery and a specific PCB design. When paired with the specific PCB, the possibility of overheating is increased, although there were only 10 reported cases. No one was harmed, and no property was damaged. Users can visit the recall site and enter their serial number to see if they should send their unit in free of charge.
