Lenovo states that this is not a safety recall and does not pose a safety hazard.

Next, download the Battery Diagnostic Tool posted on that Web page. If this test fails, you will be directed to a Web form to request a replacement battery.
Please note that your laptop has to be 12 months or fewer past the warranty expiration to qualify for a free replacement battery.
