Seems like there have been quite a number of notebook battery recalls recently, with Apple's newest MacBook Pro joining the fray. According to the Cupertino company, some units of its MacBook Pro batteries do not meet its performance standards.
Fortunately, the defect is not a safety hazard. Hence, users can continue to utilize their recalled batteries till replacements arrive. The affected batteries apply to model number A1175 and have a 12-digit serial number ending in U7SA, U7SB or U7SC.
Though Apple Asia Pacific was unable to confirm if this was a worldwide recall or localized to the US market, we suggest that MacBook Pro users follow instructions in the Apple's advisory to determine if their units are eligible for the exchange.
