Microsoft recalls Xbox 360 Racing Wheel

Microsoft has just started the process of recalling the Xbox 360 Racing Wheel. The reason for this is that, in a small number of cases, the components in the Xbox 360 Racing Wheel have over heated and emit smoke when plugged into an AC outlet. Microsoft is releasing a free retrofit that is designed to fix the problem, until customers receive it, Microsoft is advising them to use the Racing Wheel on battery power only. Microsoft is saying that this is only “precautionary” measures.

Microsoft will be taking no chances over this as it is already being sued by a number of people saying that the Xbox system scratches their discs beyond repair. Microsoft has also had to fork out around $1 billion for warranty of Xbox 360’s that have malfunction irreparably after just several months.
