I recently received this from Amazon (where I bought my wheel):

Dear Customer

We are contacting you regarding your order which included a 'Microsoft
Xbox 360 Wireless Steering Wheel', ASIN B000I2O48Y or B000N0WWZ8.

Due to a potential safety issue, Microsoft is voluntarily recalling
selected models of its Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Steering Wheels.
According to Microsoft a component in the wheel chassis may, in rare
cases, overheat and release smoke when the AC-DC power supply is used
to energise the wheel.

Microsoft is offering all customers affected by this recall, a free
retrofit to the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel.

Please visit the following link to view the public notice as released
by Microsoft and to find more information on how to receive your free
retrofit:

http://www.xbox.com/...eelretrofit.htm

If you are affected by this recall, you are advised to stop using the
AC/DC power supply until you have obtained your retrofit.
If you purchased this item as a gift for someone, please notify the
recipient immediately and provide them with this information.
We understand that this was not what you expected when you placed your
order and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We look forward to serving you again in the future.

Warmest regards,

Customer Service Department

Why do they make it sound like hard work? I think I'll just wait until mine "releases smoke".
