Yamaha has recalled approximately 82,000 Line 6 Relay G10, G10S, and G10T Digital Wireless Guitar Systems and their USB charging cables. The internal lithium-ion batteries in these guitar transmitters can overheat during charging, causing the battery cover to forcefully detach from the device. This poses a significant risk of fire and impact injuries. Yamaha is aware of four incidents where the cover separated with force, including one report of property damage, though no injuries have been reported yet. These black-colored systems were sold at retailers like Guitar Center, Sweetwater Sound, and Amazon between March 2016 and December 2019.
The lithium-ion battery inside the transmitter can overheat, leading to a build-up of pressure that causes the battery cover to explode or separate with force, potentially starting a fire or causing impact injuries to anyone nearby.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and contact Yamaha to receive a free repair for the G10 Family of Products, and a full refund for the G10T USB charging cable.
