Samsung has collected reports about 35 incidents of the Note 7 malfunctioning while charging. As suspected, the problem is related to the battery. Samsung says that just 24 units in every million (or one in 42,000 units) is at risk of fire, but the recall is conducted out of an abundance of caution.
More details about the actual recall process will be revealed by Samsung on a per market basis.
Previously, an unnamed company official told Korean media that the issue is related to the battery pack and that the problem is estimated to affect around 0.1% of all the Note 7 that were shipped so far.
