As reported by 9to5Mac, the issue mentioned in the memo deals with the ‘power’ but fails to elaborate on the problems users are facing. Also mentioned is that for the affected MacBook Air 2018 models, the company will be offering the program for four years from the date of purchase. They can also visit Apple Stores to have their devices checked. Apple will be reportedly emailing the users that own the affected MacBook Air 2018 models. The memo to staff adds that the company has identified an issue with the logic board of the 13-inch MacBook Air that released in 2018 with specific serial numbers. It has been added that the Apple Stores and the authorised repair staff has also been informed about it and to replace the logic board of the affected MacBook Air laptops, as per the document obtained by 9to5Mac. The recall is said to be for a ‘very small number’ of MacBook Air models and the issue is said to be with the logic board. As reported by 9to5Mac, the iPhone maker is planning to recall some of its 2018 MacBook Air models as well. But it looks like the problem hasn’t ended yet. The sound of it was what first threw me for a loop but then the smell of a strong chemical/burning smell is what got me.Apple, few days ago recalled some MacBook Pro laptops due to battery issues.

“You can imagine how quickly I jumped out of bed. “Monday night while we were in bed, the battery in my MacBook Pro blew and a small fire filled my house with smoke,” writes Gagne. In a Facebook post detailing what happen, Gagne shared several photos of the charred husk of his MacBook Pro, along with a description of the incident that could very well have burned his house down. As designer Steven Gagne recently discovered, the “fire safety risk” is very real.Īpple announced the recall on Thursday, June 20th, and it was probably in response to reports from users like Gagne, whose battery decided to blow up on Monday, June 17th. A couple of weeks ago, Apple announced a recall of “a limited number” of Mid-2015 15-inch Retina MacBook Pros because “the battery may overheat and pose a fire safety risk.” But if you thought that yours is probably fine and haven’t taken the time to check your serial yet, think again.
