Thanks. Mine has "Battery Cell Made in Korea" and "Assembled in China" on it, so I'm assuming it is not one of the recalled ones. My laptop overheats (shuts down) if placed on a soft surface, like if I place it on a bed, which is a pretty stupid place for a laptop as you want the air vents to be free from bed covers etc.

If you want to be fully sure, remember that the http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global....l=en&s=corp document also says that you should contact their "battery program" :
