Official recall record

Bose subwoofers manufactured prior to April 1, 2006, which were distributed as components of specific Acoustimass®, Lifestyle®, and Companio

What the authority reported

1. Capacitors C778 and C779 located within the subwoofer enclosure could fracture and become nonfunctional when subjected to stress, such as twisting or bending of the circuit board. Such stress may, albeit not always, result in the rupture and failure of the aforementioned capacitors, either immediately or gradually over repeated instances of stress. 2. In the event of capacitors C778 and C779 rupturing and failing while the subwoofer is connected, there exists the potential for a short circuit to transpire, leading to speaker overheating. This, in turn, could result in the occurrence of a thermal event, wherein the product may ignite and undergo melting, or even give rise to a fire.

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
