Problem Found with Power Logic Boards in Certain 2018 MacBook Air Models; Apple Provides Complimentary Repairs
In a recent development, Apple has announced a recall for some 15-inch MacBook Pros with Retina displays built between 2015 and 2017. This decision comes due to battery issues that may cause overheating and pose a fire safety risk.
The recall, however, is not listed on Apple's exchange and repair extension program website. Apple Store and authorized repair staff have been instructed to replace the batteries in qualifying units for free.
This latest recall is not related to the main logic board issue in the 2018 MacBook Air laptops for which Apple has identified a problem and will run a repair program for a period of four years. The specific problem with the 2018 MacBook Air laptops and the affected serial numbers have not yet been listed by Apple.
Impacted customers will be contacted directly via email by Apple. It's worth noting that Apple does not always list issues on its exchange and repair extension program website when there isn't a large-scale problem with a product.
Those experiencing issues with their 2018 MacBook Air laptops can go to an Apple Store or other authorized repair outlet for a check-up. It's important to note that most results pertaining to MacBook Air logic board or power board issues are not specific to the 2018 model or a particular defect with its main logic board.
Apart from these issues, Apple has also had problems with batteries that pose a fire risk in certain models and has launched a separate solid state drive replacement program for some 13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) units.
This string of unfortunate issues with Apple's laptops as of late serves as a reminder for users to keep their devices updated and to seek professional help if they encounter any problems. For detailed or official information, checking Apple’s support pages or recall notices directly would be advisable.
