Following Nikon UK’s recall of certain Coolpix 2000 digital cameras, Nikon USA has also recalled models of the same camera.
A note posted to Nikon USA’s Web site home page indicates that certain models of Coolpix 2000 cameras can potentially “experience a circuit problem in the battery compartment that could cause excessive heat which could be dangerous.”
Nikon noted that the cameras must be replaced to prevent the possible risk.
Nikon said that affected cameras contain serial numbers in the following range:
Between 3010001 and 3060980 Between 3510001 and 3561916
Users with camera serial numbers that are in this range are encouraged to either call Nikon Customer Service at 800.645.6687 or e-mail cr.nikon@attglobal.net with “Coolpix 2000 Return” in the subject line. Specific details and more information are available from the Web site.
