They had no solution and could only send me a copy of the shipping notice when my repair was made–which doesn’t mention the battery replacement at all.įortunately I’d scanned the AppleCare Service “Product Repair Summary” that was in the box of my returned MacBook Pro and now have a printout of that in my carry-on. The two reps I had, including the next higher level “senior” one seemed totally unaware of the FAA action. I’ve been on the phone with Apple about this for the past 30 minutes. If you have a 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro, check to see if it’s included in Apple’s recall and if it is, get it serviced as soon as possible to avoid the risk of a fire. Meanwhile, cargo airlines managed by Total Cargo Expertise have banned the 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro entirely, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency has prohibited the use of those laptops during flights. It’s unclear what measures will be taken to keep the affected MacBook Pro models off airplanes or how airport and airline staff will be able to differentiate between affected and unaffected units. Battery-powered devices recalled because of lithium battery safety concerns also should not be carried aboard aircraft or packed in baggage unless the device or its battery has been replaced, repaired or otherwise made safe per manufacturer/vendor instructions. Lithium batteries recalled by the manufacturer/vendor must not be carried aboard aircraft or packed in baggage.
