Just as the commotion over Xbox 360 overheating and RROD faded away, Microsoft was forced to fix overheating Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheels.
According to Microsoft, this is just a "precautionary measure" to fix a "component in the Wheel chassis [which] may in rare cases overheat and release smoke when the AC-DC power supply is used to energize the Wheel".
If you have an Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel manufactured during 2006 - 2007, you should visit www.xbox.com/support or call 0800-587-1102 to get a free adaptor replacement.
Microsoft points out that there have been no reported incidences of "fire, personal injury or property damage due to the Wheel malfunction"; however, they advise customers to stop using the AC-DC power supply until they have obtained their retrofit. Owners may continue to operate the Wheel using battery power, but force feedback will not be available while running on battery power.
