I no longer have an X60 or X61 to run the recall software on - and they won't let me do the recall over the phone. I'm looking for $20 for the battery plus $4 in postage. It's a reasonable path to getting a brand new battery from Lenovo via the recall program. Paypal please.

Is it possible to claim battery recall, by using another machine with warranty expired?

Many of the recalls expired Sept. 1

ThinkPad T43, T43p, T60, T60p

Note: The table below lists the battery part numbers (P/N) of the Sony batteries affected by the recall. SOME of the batteries with these part numbers are being recalled, NOT ALL of them. If your battery part number matches any of the ASM P/N or FRU P/N listed, you must use the Automated Solution below to determine whether your battery is being recalled.

ASM P/N FRU P/N
92P1072 92P1073
92P1088 92P1089
92P1142 92P1141

92P1174 92P1173, 93P5030

Until a replacement for a recalled battery arrives, to continue using your ThinkPad notebook PC safely, you should turn off the system, remove the battery, and only power your ThinkPad by plugging in the AC adapter and power cord.

Lenovo apologizes for the inconvenience caused by these issues. Shipment of quality products always has been and continues to be the foremost concern.
