Microsoft has announced plans to provide a free retrofit for its Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel which fixes a malfunction in the chassis that may cause the device to “smoke” when the AC/DC power supply is being used. According to Redmond, there haven’t been any reports of fire, personal injury, or property damage — though clearly the game-maker wants to address this problem before it’s got a pile of lawsuits on its hands. Apparently, the wheel works just fine with battery power (which Microsoft suggests you use until the repair is made), though plugging it in could be a little dangerous. Unfortunate owners of the faulty product should get themselves over to the company’s Xbox support page to get the ball rolling on their wheel surgery.
