After finally admitting the existence of Red Ring of Death and extending Xbox 360 warranties and offering replacements, Microsoft is back on the apology trail again by announcing that it will replace faulty parts for the 230,000 Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheels out there.

Owners are being warned to not use the wheel with electricity but stick to batteries since there have been around 50 incidents of ‘Do you smell smoke?’, reported globally. That said, nothing has burst into flames and there have been no reports of injury.

You can get more information here on the Xbox support page or call 0800 587 1102 in the UK.-Martin Lynch
