It looks like they were sold between March 2013 and Aug 2015

If you are, it may pay to run the utility in the link to see if the battery in yours is affected

Someone also posted this on Neowin (www.neowin.net)

1422147 2016-06-21 01:53:00 This is a nightmare for small IT companies & small retailer .
I'm supposed to go through all the sales in the last few years looking for anyone Ive sold one of these to ???

And to only find out via a forum post is pretty damn poor.

Cheers for the heads up, HP have an app to run on each laptop to see if its a model effected .

1422149 2016-06-21 02:23:00 Agree, this is a nightmare.

Even though I was pretty sure my Pavilion notebook was earlier than the problem ones I ran the utility out of curiosity.

Got a Fatal Error. You failed to meet the minimum requirements.

What does this tell the punters? Is the utility crook? Doesn't it run in win 10? Is the notebook OK?

1422150 2016-06-21 02:51:00 Is Net framework 4.5 installed Linw?? That util needs it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1422151 2016-06-21 21:50:00 Nope, no net framework installed. Not going to make it easy for the masses to check, though, eh.

They'll have to rely on the 1101's of this world!!!

Because then you'd have to pay for it... HP's recall gives you a new one for free.
