Microsoft is taking a precautionary measure and providing customers with a free retrofit to the Xbox 360 Wireless Wheel.

The action is being taken after Microsoft was informed of a "very small" number of incidents of a malfunction in the Xbox 360 Wireless Wheel, where a component in the wheel chassis may overheat and release smoke when the AC-DC power supply is used to power the wheel. There have been no reported incidences of fire, personal injury or property damage due to the component failure.

Owners of the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel should stop using the AC-DC power supply until they have obtained their retrofit. Owners may continue to operate the wheel using battery power.

Owners should visit xbox.com/support or call Microsoft to register for the free retrofit and protect against the potential hazard described above. Instructions, if necessary, will be provided with the retrofit.
