Colombo,September 11 2019 : Apple has determined that, in a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro units, the battery may overheat and pose a fire safety risk. Affected units were sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017. However, not all 15” MacBook Pro units sold in the September 2015 – February 2017 time period are affected.
As a safety measure passengers are requested to verify with Apple whether their devices are affected by the recall.
They will be requested upon check-in to produce such verifications or proof that the battery has been replaced.
In the absence of such verification, their devices will not be allowed in as checked- in or carry-on luggage
