The company is already remotely discharging the Powerwalls affected to reduce the risk:

Most affected units have already been remotely discharged by Tesla. While the risk of overheating is now very low, if it does occur, it may lead to a fire that could cause serious injury, death or damage to property. A few incidents have occurred and caused damage to property. No injuries have been reported.

Powerwall owners should check their Tesla app to see whether their unit is affected. If so, the Powerwall should likely already be discharged.

Tesla says that it will replace their Powerwalls affected with new ones at no cost to the customers. It is also considering compensating people for revenue lost or higher utility bills due to the Powerwalls being down for an extended period of time, but it hasn’t confirmed anything yet.

The company has yet to issue a recall notice outside of Australia, but Tesla produces all its Powerwalls in Nevada in the US.
