Line 6 has issued an urgent safety warning to anyone who purchased its G10, Relay G10S and Relay G10T wireless transmitters prior to March 2020.
Line 6 has advised immediate corrective action via a firmware update for the units after "several instances of extreme overheating and a risk of fire".
These follow reports by some users of overheating, reportedly during charging. Line 6 issued a 'Recall-To-Repair' with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission in March 2020 and the step requires users to install a firmware update.

So it's potentially a simple fix for users for what remains one of the best guitar wireless systems available for performance and price. The pedalboad-mountable G10S was released in 2019.
