On July 6, 2016 The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall for hoverboards from Swagway to be repaired.

Swagway X1 Hands­Free Smartboard self­balancing scooters purchased at any time during September 2015, through March 2016, sold by Swagway, LLC ("Swagway"). The product is commonly referred to as "hoverboards." Hoverboards have two wheels at either end of a platform and are powered by lithium ion battery packs. The Swagway brand X1 has "Swagway" printed in the front and comes in gold, black, white, blue, green, red, or pink.

Swagway X1 units subject to the recall were sold at mass merchandisers, department stores, home improvement stores and others nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Modells.com, Swagway.com, Target.com and other online retailers from September, 2015, through March, 2016, for between $400 and $500.

Products not included in the recall are: (1) X1 Hands­Free Smartboard self­balancing scooters purchased directly online from Swagway after February 1, 2016, and (2) X1 Hands­Free Smartboard self­balancing scooters which already received a battery retrofit under warranty (if your X1 has a 6­digit number at the center bottom of the unit, it has already received the battery retrofit and is not covered by the recall). Potential Hazard: The lithium­ion battery packs in the Swagway X1 may overheat, posing a fire hazard.

Remedy: Customers who purchased Swagway X1 at any time during September, 2015 through March, 2016, should immediately discontinue use and may elect one of the following remedies: 1. Repair.
