Viallisissa akuissa on kuumenemisriski, joka saattaa johtaa akun paikaltaan ponnahtamiseen puhelinta ladattaesssa.
Nokia vaihtaa Matshushitan valmistamia matkapuhelinten akkuja ylikuumentumisriskin vuoksi. BL-5C-malliset akut on valmistettu joulukuun 2005 ja marraskuun 2006 välisenä aikana.
Markkinoilta vetäminen koskee 46:ta miljoonaa akkua. Kaikki BL-5C-akut eivät ole Matshushitan valmistamia, vaan Nokialla on useita kyseisiä malleja valmistavia alihankkijoita.
Ylikuumentumistapauksia on havaittu noin sata. Viallisen akun oikosulku voi aiheuttaa kuumentumisen ja akun ponnahtamisen pois paikoiltaan puhelinta ladattaessa. Nokian mukaan kukaan ei ole ole loukkaantunut vakavasti eikä merkittäviä aineellisia vahinkoja ole aiheutunut.
Nokian asiakkaat voivat vaihtaa vialliset akut uusiin maksutta. Puhelimien käyttäjillä on mahdollisuus katsoa internetistä, onko heidän akkunsa Matshushitan valmistama. Tiedot näkee osoitteesta www.nokia.com/batteryreplacement.
Dear Nokia Customer,
This is a product advisory for the Nokia-branded BL-5C battery manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd. of Japan between December 2005 and November 2006. This product advisory does not apply to any other Nokia battery.
Nokia has identified that in very rare cases the affected batteries could potentially experience over heating initiated by a short circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge. Nokia is working closely with relevant local authorities to investigate this situation.
Nokia has several suppliers for BL-5C batteries that have collectively produced more than 300 million BL-5C batteries. This advisory applies only to the 46 million batteries manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006. There have been approximately 100 incidents of over heating reported globally. No serious injuries or property damage have been reported.
Consumers with a BL-5C battery subject to this advisory should note that all of the approximately 100 incidents have occurred while charging the battery. According to Nokia's knowledge this issue does not affect any other use of the mobile device. Concerned consumers may want to monitor a mobile device while charging that contains a BL-5C battery subject to this product advisory.
