Fire hazard: Lenovo laptops recalled due to battery fault
The overheating hazard was caused by a faulty screw, the company said.
CHINESE TECH COMPANY Lenovo is recalling some of its laptops after a fault was
found that could cause the machineâs battery to overheat.
Dublin Fire Brigade is advising customers to check to make sure their laptop
model isnât affected as it could pose a fire hazard.
The recall is limited to some ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th Generation laptops
(machine types: 20HQ, 20HR, 20K3, 20K4), and the fault was caused by a faulty
screw, the company said.
Lenovo has determined that a limited number of such laptops may have an
unfastened screw that could damage the laptopâs battery causing overheating,
potentially posing a fire hazard.
ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th Generation laptops manufactured on or after 1 November
2017 are not affected, it added.
