Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel Retrofit  by Craig D at 10:17

XBox
If you have an Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel you are advised to stop using the AC-DC, apparently a faulty component in the device may cause overheating and the possible release of smoke when it is powered by the charger. No issues are reported whilst using the device with batteries. Microsoft will retrofit your Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel free of charge.

Owners of the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel should visit www.xbox.com/support or call Microsoft at 0800 587 1102 to register for the free retrofit and protect against the potential hazard described above. Instructions, if necessary, will be provided with the retrofit.
