Renewed Request: Please confirm again immediately, as there is a possibility of fire
Dear Valued Customer,
We thank you for your patronage of Fujitsu products.
Certain battery packs manufactured by Panasonic Corporation and used in Fujitsu laptops may ignite and result in fire while recharging, or when a laptop is in use or the power is off. Fujitsu has been recalling and replacing the battery packs that may be affected from August 27, 2015.
It has now become newly understood that the batteries of certain laptop PC models manufactured by Fujitsu between August 2012 and November 2013, and their optional batteries, may also ignite and result in fire.
Accordingly, to prevent further instances, we ask customers to immediately check if they have the battery packs listed in "Affected Battery Packs" below.
We also request that customers who checked their batteries prior to December 13, 2017 and confirmed at that time that their batteries were not affected, please check again as the list of affected batteries has been revised. We apologize for the inconvenience. Customers who have previously determined they had an affected battery and have already received a replacement do not need to check again.
If you are in possession of an affected battery pack, please apply for a replacement as explained in "How to Apply for a Battery Replacement." Fujitsu will provide recall and replacement services free of charge. Until replacement has been completed, please use your PC safely by reading "How to Use Your Laptop Safely Until Battery Replacement."
Fujitsu deeply apologizes for the inconvenience it has caused its customers, and asks for your cooperation in the battery pack recall and replacement.
Your battery pack is subject to recall and replacement if your laptop is listed under the below "Subject Laptops" and the battery pack is listed under "Affected Battery Packs."
1. Certain laptop models manufactured from September 2011 to May 2013 (as in the notification of August 27, 2015)
2. Certain laptop models manufactured from April 2013 to September 2013 (as in the supplement of February 10, 2016)
3. Certain laptop models manufactured from August 2012 to November 2013 (as in the supplement of December 13, 2017)
Please click here for more about subject laptop models.
Battery packs replaced during repair, or optional battery packs purchased separately, which are for laptop models other than those listed above, may also be subject.
Please click here for more about affected battery packs.
The following information is required when applying for a replacement:
Click here (Japanese language only) to confirm whether your battery pack should be recalled and to apply for a replacement if necessary.
We ask that customers using a laptop with an affected battery pack take precautions for safety until the battery pack can be replaced by removing the affected battery pack and using only with the AC adapter. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and hope for your understanding.
