Important Safety Notice: Voluntary Recall of Segway Off-Board Charger (optional accessory)

Segway, Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC), is voluntarily recalling the Segway Off-Board Charger for Segway Personal Transporters (PTs) and Segway SE-3 Patrollers, to replace the power cord. Note: No built-in charger from inside any model of Segway PT is being recalled. Owners of Segway PTs in New Zealand can continue to use their machines with confidence.

The affected Off-Board Charger products are shown in the left and middle images below. An earlier version of the Segway Off-Board Charger (shown right) is not being recalled.
