Important Notice For Batteries In Certain MacBook Pro Units

Voluntary Recall and Replacement Program

CUPERTINO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apple® today announced a voluntary recall of a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro® units which contain a battery that may overheat and pose a safety risk. The units were sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017 and can be identified by their product serial number.

The recall does not affect any other 15-inch MacBook Pro units or other Mac® notebooks.
