Sony is yet to officially issue a formal recall notice for the product. Meaning that if you are one of the 497 Fit 11A users in the United States, one of the 7,158 in Europe, or one of the 3,619 in Japan then you can take this as a public service announcement: take the product off charge and stop using it until you hear from Sony. The faulty battery find comes at a very busy and inconvenient time for Sony as they look to finalize a deal that will see its PC division offloaded to the Japanese Investment Fund (JIP). However, support for the VAIO range of computers will continue after the takeover.
